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 +380 to repeat according to the latest 2025 Masters odds at FanDuel. He’s followed by McIlroy (15-2), 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), Jordan Spieth (36-1), Tyrell Hatton (36-1), Viktor Hovland (36-1), Tommy Fleetwood (36-1), and Shane Lowry (39-1) on the PGA odds board. Scheffler is fetching 13.6% of the handle at BetMGM, while McIlroy is getting 16.5% and Aberg is fetching 9.2%. 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 FanDuelDraftKings 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.

Rafael Devers, Jarren Duran heating up as five-homer barrage jumpstarts Red Sox

TORONTO — Jarren Duran didn’t waste any time setting the tone on Tuesday night.Coming off a series in Cleveland in which he went 7-for-11 over the final two games, Duran smoked the third pitch of the game from Toronto starter Bowden Francis 378 feet to right-center field to set off a home run barrage for the Boston Red Sox in a 10-2 pummeling of the Blue Jays.AdvertisementAlex Bregman soon followed Duran’s leadoff homer with a solo shot of his own. Kristian Campbell clubbed a solo homer to open the second and in the third Devers opened the frame with another home run.
