The first major of 2025 will be decided when the world’s top players head to Augusta National Golf Club for the 2025 Masters Tournament. Golf’s grandest stage, which gets underway on Thursday, April 10, will feature a star-studded 2025 Masters field packed with household names like Scottie Scheffler, Players Championship winner Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and Jordan Spieth chasing a coveted green jacket. Scheffler can become the first golfer to win the green jacket in consecutive years for the first time since Tiger Woods in 2001-02. Scheffler also won the Masters in 2022, one of his 13 PGA Tour victories, and bested the field last year as a +325 favorite by four strokes.
Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, is +490 to repeat according to the latest 2025 Masters odds at FanDuel. He’s followed by McIlroy (6-1), Ludvig Aberg (15-1), Rahm (15-1), Collin Morikawa (17-1), DeChambeau (17-1) Xander Schauffele (19-1), Justin Thomas (21-1), Hideki Matsuyama (28-1), Jordan Spieth (28-1), Joaquin Niemann (28-1), and Brooks Koepka (31-1) on the PGA odds board. Morikawa’s 2025 Masters odds to win have been steadily improving. Woods, a five-time Masters champion, likely won’t play due to a ruptured Achilles. Before locking in any 2025 Masters picks of your own, be sure to see the early golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters (its third Masters in a row) and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting apps like FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics.
Now that the 2025 Masters field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
2025 Masters predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the Masters 2025: Rory McIlroy, a 27-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, fails to finish on top of the leaderboard and doesn’t even crack the top five. McIlroy can become just the sixth golfer to complete the career grand slam with a victory at Augusta National.
However, the 35-year-old has been unable to get the job done at the Masters finishing T22 or worse in three of his past four starts at Augusta, which includes missing the cut twice during that span. McIlroy has failed to break 70 in 11 of his past 12 rounds at Augusta, which doesn’t bode well for his chances to finish on top of the leaderboard at the first major of the year. The model has found better values among the top 2025 Masters contenders. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Justin Thomas, a 21-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
Thomas is a two-time major champion and has recorded 15 career victories on the PGA Tour. He’s a seasoned veteran who has all the tools needed to be in the mix at Augusta National. Thomas has finished T-12 or better in three of his past six starts at the Masters and has been playing well early in the 2025 PGA Tour season. He secured a runner-up finish at The American Express in January and a T6 finish at the WM Phoenix Open in February. He was 17th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Thomas also ranks among the best putters on the PGA Tour, making him a strong value pick for your 2025 Masters bets. See who else to pick here.
How to make 2025 Masters picks
The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 30-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.
Who will win the 2025 Masters Tournament, and which longshots will stun the golfing world? Check out the 2025 Masters odds below and then visit SportsLine to see the projected leaderboard, all from the model that’s nailed 13 golf majors, including the last three Masters and three majors in 2024.
