Picks for even more 2025 Masters golfers and the Masters favorite to win ahead of the year's first major at Augusta National

The Masters Tournament is one of the biggest events in the golfing calendar, and every winner is rewarded with the iconic green jacket which has become synonymous with the event

Sleeper pick: Corey Conners, +6500. His past three finishes prior to the Valero: 3, T6, T8. In seven appearances at Augusta National, he has three top-10s. Feels like pretty good odds given Conners’ current form and past Masters resume.

Rahm and Rory McIlroy have the shortest odds to win the Masters behind Scheffler. All three players are typically in the mix on the final day of any major, especially at Augusta where they have a combined 15 top-10 finishes.

With three green jackets and several Masters near-misses among them, Scheffler, Schauffele and Spieth all arrive at Augusta winless so far in 2025.

SportsLine's proven model simulated the 2025 Masters 10,000 times and revealed its surprising PGA Tour golf picks and Masters favorite to win

The Masters begins Thursday at Augusta National, where defending champion Scottie Scheffler will try to win his third green jacket, Rory McIlroy will try once again to win his first, and the biggest names in golf will come together amid the Georgia pines for the year's first major championship.

The 2022 and 2024 Masters champion is a 4-1 favorite to win. Somehow, those are his best odds heading into Augusta National despite what has been — by his standards — a subpar season. Scheffler has yet to win on the PGA Tour and has just three Top-10 finishes, down from seven pre-Masters Top-10s last year.
