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 and runner-up in last week’s Houston Open, is +460 to repeat according to the latest 2025 Masters odds at FanDuel after moving as low as +380. He’s followed by McIlroy (13-2), Collin Morikawa (15-1), Ludvig Aberg (17-1), Rahm (17-1), DeChambeau (21-1) Xander Schauffele (21-1), Justin Thomas (24-1), Hideki Matsuyama (28-1), Joaquin Niemann (29-1), Brooks Koepka (34-1), and Jordan Spieth (36-1) on the PGA odds board. Woods, a five-time Masters champion, likely won’t play due to a ruptured Achilles and was 140-1 to win. 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: Scottie Scheffler, a two-time Masters champion and this year’s sizable favorite, fails to finish on top of the leaderboard. Scheffler can become the first golfer since Tiger Woods (2001-02) to successfully defend his title with another win at Augusta National.
However, Scheffler has struggled mightily with his putter this season, ranking 79th in one-putt percentage (40.56%), 86th in strokes gained: putting (0.029) and 102nd in putting average (1.756). Scheffler’s inability to drain putts has the 28-year-old ranked 91st in birdie average (3.95), 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.
Another surprise: Justin Thomas, a 24-1 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 the Valspar Championship in March. 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 20-1 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.

Jerry Jones says Cowboys’ defensive play over final 3 games will be ‘big criteria’ in evaluating Matt Eberflus
Jerry Jones is at a crossroads. The longtime Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager is desperate for better defensive play, but he also understands the importance of continuity at the defensive coordinator position.Even though Matt Eberflus has struggled mightily in his first season on the job — the Cowboys are allowing 30 points per game, the second most in the league at the moment — moving on from him would mean a fourth DC in four seasons. Dan Quinn left to become the Washington Commanders' head coach after the 2023 season. Mike Zimmer didn't return when the Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy following the 2024 season. Then Eberflus joined Brian Schottenheimer's staff.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJones was asked Tuesday on Dallas' 105.3 The FAN if Eberflus' job status is going to be determined by how the 6-7-1 Cowboys perform defensively over the final […]
Christensen and Rashford secure a hard-fought victory for Barcelona
Barcelona needed late goals by Andreas Christensen and Marcus Rashford to defeat third-division club Guadalajara 2-0 on Tuesday in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey in a game delayed because of problems with the stadium's temporary grandstand.Kickoff was delayed by half an hour because local authorities did not initially allow fans access to the newly built grandstand at the Pedro Escartín stadium in the city of Guadalajara near Madrid.There were long lines outside the stadium until police finally permitted fans inside. The stadium's capacity increased from nearly 6,000 to about 8,000 with the new stand.Barcelona was in control from the start but struggled to create significant scoring chances against its lower-tier opponent.Christensen finally broke the deadlock in the 76th minute with a header off a cross by Frenkie De Jong.

2025 NFL MVP Stock Watch: Bo Nix has Broncos Streaking, Scrambling Into MVP Convo
Winners of 10 one-score games this season and riding an 11-game winning streak, it’s time to acknowledge the Denver Broncos are not the luckiest team in the NFL. Holding a 12-2 record, tops in the NFL, the Broncos are the best. And while the Broncos have one of the nastiest defenses in the NFL, one of the main reasons for Denver’s success has been the clutch performance of second-year quarterback Bo Nix. The Oregon product’s raw numbers aren't among the best in the league, but he's played well when it mattered the most, as he did against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. He threw for 302 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions, posting a season-high 134.7 passer rating in the 34-26 victory. Nix's 11 straight wins ties Lamar Jackson (2019), Peyton Manning (1999) and Dan Marino (1984) for the longest win […]
The reasons behind why Lionel Messi didn’t play during India tour
Lionel Messi's recent visit to India was framed as a landmark moment for football fans, and in many respects, it lived up to the hype. Over the course of three tightly scheduled days, the Argentine legend traveled across Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi, attracting massive crowds wherever he appeared. For a country where elite football icons are rarely seen in person, Messi's presence alone was enough to spark nationwide excitement.Rodrigo De Paul did this next to Lionel MessiIn Delhi, the atmosphere was electric. Thousands filled the stadium not to watch a match, but simply to witness Messi walk onto the pitch. Fans chanted his name as he greeted supporters, signed jerseys, kicked footballs into the stands, and spent time interacting with young players.The energy intensified when he appeared alongside Inter Miami teammates Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul, turning the […]
Megan Rapinoe blasts USMNT World Cup slogan, calls message misguided
Megan Rapinoe has taken aim at the U.S. men's national soccer team, criticizing its newly unveiled campaign slogan ahead of the 2026 World Cup.The former U.S. women's national team star said she was put off by the phrase "Never Chase Reality," arguing that it carries unintended and negative implications about the team's self-belief.Rapinoe shared her thoughts on a recent episode of A Touch More, the podcast she co-hosts with partner Sue Bird and sportscaster Katie Nolan."The team's slogan going into the World Cup - this was like their drop - and their slogan is 'Never chase reality,'" Rapinoe said. "I was like, guys, I don't think it's saying what you think it's saying."Rapinoe added that, to her, the phrase sounded as if the team already doubted its own level. "Why didn't we just stick with something like 'Dream big?'" she […]
