Best Masters Bets
The 2020 Masters Tournament saw a brand-new scoring record set in the first-ever fall edition of golf’s premier event. Dustin Johnson shot two rounds of 7-under, 65 and finished at minus-20 in a five-stroke victory over Cameron Smith and Sungjae Im to dethrone Tiger Woods and win his first green jacket. Below, we look at the 2021 Masters betting odds, and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions to win.
The Masters will return to Augusta National Golf Club in its usual spot on the calendar from April 8-11, 2021; it will be the first major of the calendar year. The field is not yet finalized, and won’t be until the week before the event, but BetMGM has already released odds for 53 golfers. Now’s the time to start scouting out the PGA Tour futures prices in search of value.

2021 Masters betting picks – Favorite
Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 7:50 a.m. ET.
Bryson DeChambeau (+1400)
DeChambeau now shares the fifth-best odds to win the 2021 Masters after being the outright betting favorite for the 2020 event. The 2020 US Open champion struggled with his added distance off the tee and broke 70 in just one of his four rounds.
His odds are nearly doubled roughly five months out from the 2021 tournament. It won’t take much (a win or two in the 16 events between now and mid-April) for him to regain pole position as the public favorite. He’s worth a small wager at what could be his highest price for 2021.

2021 Masters betting picks – Contender
Daniel Berger (+4000)
Berger was a notable absentee from the 2020 Masters field. He didn’t qualify in time for the original April date of the tournament, but he was one of the PGA Tour’s most consistent players following the mid-June restart. He won the Charles Schwab Challenge in the first event back and rose all the way to No. 4 in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings by the time of the tournament.
Berger has played the Masters thrice before, finishing T-10 in his 2016 debut and never missing the cut. Like DeChambeau, his odds will likely quickly drop upon his return to tournament play.
2021 Masters betting picks – Long shot
C.T. Pan (+20000)
Pan has the longest odds of anyone to finish inside the top 10 of the 2020 Masters. A T-7 finisher, only three players have longer odds for 2021, while Rahm and Koepka are the No. 4 and 5 betting favorites, respectively.
While the 2021 Masters should play much more difficult in returning to its customary spring spot on the PGA Tour schedule with firmer fairways and greens, Pan now has his debut out of the way and some much-needed experience at Augusta National. A relative unknown in North America, his odds likely won’t change too much over the next five months, but he’s worth watching and bettors should pounce quickly if his odds begin to drop.

Jason Day (-112) vs. Collin Morikawa
The 23-year-old Morikawa has won twice since the PGA Tour’s mid-June restart, including the PGA Championship in early August. Therefore, Day, a former world No. 1, comes into this head-to-head tournament matchup as a slight underdog. He has had a strong season in his own right, with five top 10s in 15 events since mid-June, including a T-4 at the PGA Championship.
Morikawa is trying to become the first to win the Masters in their first appearance since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Day has finished inside the top 10 at the Masters four times, including a T-5 last year.

Bryson DeChambeau vs. Xander Schauffele (+105)
DeChambeau is the tournament betting favorite at +750. After winning the US Open by six strokes, there’s a strong possibility he runs away with this tournament as well. There’s also a chance he struggles on the greens and his added distance fails him on the tight fairways. Hedge an outright bet on DeChambeau by taking the steady Schauffele at plus-money in a head-to-head matchup.

2020 Masters bets: Placings
Top American: Brooks Koepka (+1000)
Koepka, a four-time major champion, closed with back-to-back rounds of 65 at last week’s Vivint Houston Open to finish in a tie for fifth. It was the second-best finish of any American who competed in the Houston Open and will compete in the Masters. He’s the first golfer in this pool getting a 10-1 return on investment and was a co-runner-up with Dustin Johnson (+550 for Top American) last year.
Top 10: Phil Mickelson (+750)
“Lefty” has started 2-for-2 on the PGA Tour Champions circuit and at 50 years old will look to dethrone Jack Nicklaus (46 years, 82 days) as the oldest Masters winner. Mickelson’s last PGA Tour win was last year’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but he was the runner-up at the marquee WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational this summer. He tied for 18th at last year’s Masters and has the distance and short game to still contend here.
Lowest score over 72 holes – Group A: Bryson DeChambeau (+275)
This is an interesting group given the notable ommission of Koepka. DeChambeau is getting +275 odds against Dustin Johnson (+320), Jon Rahm (+350), Justin Thomas (+400) and Rory McIlroy (+450). None have won the Masters before, and DeChambeau is the most recent major champion.
Tiger Woods Betting Promotion
Bet $1 on Tiger Woods to win the 2020 Masters Tournament, WIN $100 (in free bets) if Tiger makes a birdie. Place your legal, online golf bets in CO, IN, NJ, TN and WV at BetMGM, The King of Sportsbooks.

2020 Masters bets: First-round leader
Jordan Spieth (+4000)
Spieth’s struggles over the last couple of years are well documented, yet his betting odds at the Masters remain suppressed as a public favorite. The 2015 Masters champ leads all golfers in the field with an average of 3.38 strokes gained on the field per round at Augusta National, according to Data Golf. He opened with a 75 at the 2019 Masters but broke par in each of the next three rounds en route to a 21st-place finish.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout (+10000)
Bezuidenhout ranks 106th in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings and will be making his debut at Augusta National. One of the greatest tests at the Masters is the ability to block out the large crowds, but that’s not an issue in 2020 with no patrons allowed. It will play to the advantage of Bezuidenhout and all other first-time competitors. He ranked fourth on Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting last year with an average of 0.90 per round and could get out to a quick start before the pressure begins to rise.
