Along with the PGA Championship, the Masters 2025 is the only other major that gives all past winners a lifetime invitation. If you have a green jacket, then you can tee off at the 2025 Masters, and multiple former champions are in the 2025 Masters field. Sergio Garcia (+8000 to win), Phil Mickelson (+12000), Adam Scott (+15000), and Bubba Watson (+50000) are among those nostalgic names looking to add to their major wins tally, while recent champs like Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm and Hideki Matsuyama (+3300) are also among the 2025 Masters contenders. The first 2025 Masters tee times are at 7:40 a.m. ET on Thursday, when longshots Davis Riley (+60000) and Patton Kizzire (+100000) will head to hole No. 1. The latest 2025 Masters forecast is calling for partly cloudy skies and high temperatures around 70 for Round 1.
The year’s first major will tee off Thursday from Augusta National Golf Club, where Scheffler prevailed last year. Accordingly, Scheffler is the +400 favorite in the latest 2025 Masters odds after moving as high as +480 but steadily dropping this week. Rory McIlroy (+650) is the only other golfer at single-digits in the latest Masters odds 2025, as the Irishman seeks to complete a career Grand Slam. McIlroy, who opened at +1200, is getting 14.8% of the handle at BetMGM, while Scheffler is getting 12.1% and DeChambeau is at 9.5%. McIlroy is +150 to finish in the top five at the end of the Masters 2025 and -140 to make the top 10. Jon Rahm is +1400 in the latest 2025 Masters odds to win, followed by Collin Morikawa (+1600), Ludvig Aberg (+1800), Xander Schauffele (+2000), and Bryson DeChambeau (+2000). Before making any 2025 Masters picks, you need to see the 2025 Masters predictions and best bets from golf insider Sia Nejad.
Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He’s had incredible success in the outright and first-round leader markets and in betting head-to-head matchups. He also has been solid with his head-to-head matchups since the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge, going 52-37-5 and returning 11.67 units over that span. That’s a $1,167 profit for $100 bettors since May 2023.
Nejad also nailed Wyndham Clark, a +7500 longshot, as the outright winner at the Wells Fargo Championship 2023. That year, SportsLine debuted “The Early Wedge,” and in the first three months of the show, he hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners. Anyone who followed his betting picks could have been way up on betting apps and sportsbooks.
Now, Nejad has turned his attention to the 2025 Masters field and locked in his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid. See who they are at SportsLine.
Top 2025 Masters expert picks
One surprise: Nejad is completely fading Jon Rahm, even though he’s the 2023 Masters champion with one of the shortest 2025 Masters Tournament odds at +1400. Nejad points out that Rahm has been consistent in recent starts, but the price point at +1500 scares him off. “His odds are too short compared to the names I like around him. In short, I’m unwilling to speculate on how he sizes up against the top talent on the PGA Tour at such a short number,” he said.
While the two-time major winner has been consistent in his worldwide starts in 2025, he’s lacked consistency in majors since winning a green jacket two years ago. In his six major starts since, Rahm has the same number of finishes in 45th place or worse as he has top 10s (three). He followed up his 2023 Masters win with a 45th place at last year’s event, which was then followed by a missed cut at the PGA Championship that ended his majors cut streak at 18. He then had to withdraw at the U.S. Open and missed out on a medal at the 2024 Olympics, so he hasn’t had the best run in big events as of late.
Instead, Nejad is high on the chances of Collin Morikawa, even though he’s a longshot at +1600. A two-time major winner, Morikawa has three straight top-10 finishes at Augusta National and sat one-shot back entering the final round at last year’s event. A double-bogey on the ninth hole knocked him out of contention, but he still finished tied for third, his best finish at the Masters. He then followed that up with a fourth place at the PGA Championship and has excelled this year on tour, sitting fourth in the FedEx Cup standings. Morikawa opened at +2500 at BetMGM before steadily dropping.
No one is striking the ball better than Morikawa, who leads the PGA Tour in both strokes gained: tee-to-green and approach the green, while ranking second in SG: total. Nejad thinks the adversity that Morikawa faced in last year’s final round at the Masters will serve him well for this year’s edition. “I’m really not worried about Morikawa’s inability to ‘close’ as he is continuing to put himself in positions to win. His ball striking has been phenomenal for the last 12 months and he’s shown an ability to spike with the short game. His Masters history is even better from a pure metrics standpoint as he’s consistently gained across all four strokes gained categories for four years in a row,” he said. See who else to back here.
How to make 2025 Masters picks, bets
Nejad has locked in his 2025 Masters best bets, including a longshot who’s priced over 20-1. Nejad said, “We are getting the benefit of a number that is simply too long,” so anyone who backs him could hit it big. You can only see the picks at SportsLine.
So, which players should you target for the 2025 Masters, and which golfer could bring a huge payday of more than 20-1? Check out the 2025 Masters odds below, then visit SportsLine to see Sia Nejad’s top picks for the 2025 Masters, all from the expert who has returned $1,167 for $100 bettors since May 2023.

What happens if Shedeur Sanders goes undrafted? Explaining the salary difference and UDFA process
The idea of Shedeur Sanders going undrafted seemed preposterous when the 2025 NFL Draft week began. The Colorado star quarterback’s luster as a projected top-five pick may have diminished, but he was still widely mocked to land somewhere by the end of Day 1.When the first round came and went without his name being called, Sanders told the crowd at his Thursday draft party, “Tomorrow is the day.” But Friday also ended without Sanders’ name being called, dragging his slide into yet another day of speculation as Day 3 begins at noon Saturday.AdvertisementBut what happens if Day 3, consisting of rounds four to seven, also ends without Sanders being selected? An idea that never seemed plausible suddenly feels possible, and if so there are questions to be answered.Here’s what would happen if Sanders never gets selected in the NFL Draft. […]
Celtic získal titul už čtyři kola před koncem, vyrovnal rekord Rangers
Svěřenci trenéra Brendana Rodgerse prohráli v lize jen čtyři ze 34 zápasů, získali Ligový pohár a o třetí trofej - Skotský pohár - se utkají 24. května s Aberdeenem. K dnešní hladké výhře přispěli dvěma brankami Němec Kühn a Ir Idah, jeden gól byl vlastní. Nejlepším střelcem nového mistra a celé ligy je Japonec Maeda s šestnácti brankami.
Varhaníka čekají další čtyři roky v čele atletického svazu
„Jsem vděčný za to, že jsme silní, jednotní a jdeme za naplňováním našich vizí. Atletice se daří. To jsou asi symptomy, že nebyl protikandidát,“ řekl Varhaník, který je v čele svazu od roku 2009. „Na další funkce byla spousta kandidátů a věřím, že v nich je budoucnost,“ dodal devětapadesátiletý funkcionář. Je i místopředsedou Českého olympijského výboru pro ekonomiku a marketing a proti současnému šéfovi ČOV Jiřímu Kejvalovi bude ve středu kandidovat na nejvyšší post.„Máme za sebou nelehké období, kterým nás provázel covid. Jsem rád, že jsme jím prošli zocelení. Nejen že jsme udrželi členskou základní, která naopak narostla. Jsem rád, že jsme udrželi soutěže a celý tréninkový proces,“ uvedl Varhaník.Uplynulé roky hodnotí jako úspěšné z více důvodů. „Ať už se to týká medailí z olympijských her, mistrovství světa nebo evropských soutěží. Přestože nám odešla silná skupina atletů, kteří v minulé době přivezli neuvěřitelných 46 medailí, tak vidíme jejich nástupce. Máme naději, že […]

Cicinho banca melhor técnico do futebol brasileiro hoje: “Top-1”

Em declaração dada no Jogo Aberto, o ex-lateral ressaltou que sua carreira poderia até mesmo ter sido prolongada caso tivesse trabalhado com o comandante do Palmeiras.
