Masters Prop Bets
There are tons of betting options available for The Masters, including just about every prop you can think of. We’ve got our tournament preview from Wes Reynolds that includes outright winners and he’ll post placement markets on our Golf Betting Picks page on Wednesday. I wrote about First Round Leader picks to consider and we also have a look at Masters Pool Contest Strategies from our friends at TeamRankings and PoolGenius.
We also have a look at every player in the Masters field here.
With just about every prop you can think of, let’s look at some of those props and the odds from DraftKings Sportsbook. The Masters is sort of treated like the Super Bowl of golf by the sportsbooks, leading to more props than normal because there’s simply a lot more demand than usual. So, they’ll give customers the supply and see how things shake out in the end.
As always, shop around for the best odds in case other sportsbooks are offering these markets as well. Every cent matters and it’s important to keep that in mind regardless of the sport, event, or type of wager.
See the rest of our coverage of The Masters.
Odds as of 4/7, 5:30 p.m. PT
Top Canadian Finisher: Corey Conners (-148)
A bit of a juicy price here on Conners, with Nick Taylor (+114) and Mike Weir (+1500) as the other options. Conners has four top-10 finishes in his last six starts at Augusta National. He only has two across all of his other majors combined, but seems to work his way around this track pretty well.
Conners finished T-13th at the Players and T-14th at the Valspar, so he comes in with pretty decent form after a really slow start to the season. Conners is 32nd in SG: Tee-to-Green, while Taylor is 33rd, but Conners has had the much better iron play, as he is 16th in SG: Approach and Taylor is 34th. While Taylor has scrambled better this season, and neither guy has putted well, he comes in with a career-best finish of 29th in this event. Course familiarity and previous success matter at this intimidating venue and Conners should be able to win this wager.
Group L Winner: Michael Kim (+310)
Kim is listed in Group L on DraftKings alongside Max Greyserman (+320), Kristoffer Reitan (+320), Sergio Garcia (+340), and Wyndham Clark (+350). Kim played well last year in his first appearance at Augusta National since 2019, as he finished tied for 27th. That was his best finish in a major outside of his low amateur T-17 in the 2013 U.S. Open.
The thought process behind Kim is pretty simple here – he’s the best putter of the group so far this season. Kim is 43rd in SG: Putting, while Greyserman is 55th, Reitan is 113th, and Clark is 158th. While Garcia is second in GIR% over in LIV Golf, he’s missed the cut six times in seven starts since winning the Masters back in 2017. He’s 51st out of 57 players in LIV in scrambling.
Clark and Reitan have been much better off the tee than Kim, but the 28-year-old Reitan is making his Augusta debut and Clark is only making his third start with a MC and a T-46th.
Jon Rahm/Chris Gotterup/Ludvig Aberg Over 11.5 (-180), 12.5 (-108), 13.5 (+156), 14.5 (+265), 15.5 (+465) Birdies or Better Round 1
This wager is under the ‘Round’ section and then in the dropdown menu for ‘Group Number of Birdies or Better’. As noted in my First Round Leader article, Rahm was in a three-way tie for the lead back in 2023 after the first 18 holes and went on to win the tournament. At time of writing, Rahm was the fourth choice for First Round Leader at +2050, Aberg was the fifth choice at +2500, and Gotterup was the long shot at +4200, which was 17th.
Gotterup actually leads the PGA Tour this season in Round 1 scoring average at 67.13. Aberg actually ranks 100th, as he’s been a bit of a slow starter, but he’s 10th in SG: Total, 23rd in SG: Off-the-Tee, 36th in SG: Approach, and 54th in SG: Putting, so he’s put together some very solid stats. Aberg shot a 78 in the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open and a 75 in the first round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Over his last three events, though, he’s opened 66, 69, and 67 with three top-five finishes.
Rahm has played very well here throughout his career, posting five top-10 finishes including that 2023 win. He was T-14th last year, a good bounce back after finishing T-45th in 2024. Rahm has hit 82.22% of greens in regulation in LIV Golf this season, which leads all players by a pretty good amount, 20 GIRs to be exact.
The Over 11.5, Over 12.5, Over 13.5, Over 14.5, Over 15.5 would be referred to as a “ladder” and I think all three of those players have the chance at posting sub-70 scores in the first round, which would go a long way in cashing multiple tickets up the ladder.
