The Masters tees off in less than 24 hours so I wanted to drop you a line with some up-to-the minute data from BetUS (pronounced ‘Bet U.S.’) Sportsbook.
According to our oddsmakers, Scottie Scheffler and Rory Mcllroy are tied as the odds-on favorites to win this year’s Masters outright, both with +600 (6-to-1) odds as of Wednesday morning. BetUS also reported Wednesday morning that Scheffler has attracted 14.6% of the total bets and 10.78% of the total dollar volume, while Mcllroy has attracted 13.49% of bets and just 4.29% of the total dollar volume bet on the outright winner so far.
This week will be McIlroy’s 15th attempt at earning a Green Jacket and his ninth opportunity to become only the sixth man to complete the Grand Slam – but if betting action is any predicator, McIlroy – and Scheffler, for that matter – should be worried.
That’s because perhaps most surprising in the report from BetUS is Jon Rahm, who despite having longer odds (+850) than either Scheffler or Mcllroy and having attracted just 9.13% of the bets placed, those bets account for an astounding 44.35% of the total dollar volume bet on the outright winner so far. “That tells me that professional bettors – who tend to make larger bets – are putting their money on Rahm,” says Gardon Watson, senior betting analyst with BetUS Sportsbook.
Scheffler is the favorite to be the 1st Round Top American, with odds of +850, which has attracted about a third of the total bets placed on that category so far. Xander Schauffele (+1600 or 16-to-1), Tony Finau (+1800; 18-to-1), Sam Burns (+2000; 20-to-1) and Tiger Woods (+2800; 28-to-1) are some of the other professionals listed in this category.
BetUS Sportsbook offers a range of other exciting betting lines for golf fans. How about which LIV golfer will place highest in this year’s Masters? A bet on Mito Pereira for this prop bet will pay +1400 (14-to-1) and is the bettors’ favorite for this prop, having attracted 35.29% of the bets received.
Bets on golfers making a hole-in-one during the tournament are always a fan favorite, with bets on most of the golfers in the field making a hole-in-one paying somewhere between +5000 (50-to-1) and +7000 (70-to-1).
Holes-in-one at the Master's used to be rare, with only 14 occurring between 1934 and 2000. Since 2000, there have been 19 more holes-in-one, including two instances of multiple holes-in-one in 1954 and in 2021, when Tommy Fleetwood sank one on the 16th and Corey Conners aced one on the sixth.
