Augusta National is all set to welcome the world’s golfing elites for the 88th iteration of the Masters Tournament and the first of the four Golf Majors we will get to enjoy this year. Jon Rahm had the last laugh last time around, and he will be back to defend his title. Can the Spaniard become the first golfer in 22 years to win back-to-back Masters titles? Here are our PGA 2024 Masters Tournament predictions, based on odds from bookmaker bet365.
PGA 2024 Masters Tournament Predictions
The PGA 2024 Masters boasts a selective assembly of stellar talents. The competition, therefore, should be nothing short of fierce. Here are our PGA 2024 Masters Tournament predictions:
Scottie Scheffler to Win at 4.75
Scottie Scheffler is the man to beat right now. The 2022 Masters champion currently sits atop the FedEx Cup standings and comes into the competition in red-hot form. He made it to the podium in each of his last three tournament appearances. The Texan has taken home the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship trophies lately and will be eyeing a second Masters Tournament title this weekend.
Scheffler is not a Masters veteran by any means, as he will be heading into the competition for the fifth time only. That said, he has an incredible track record to look back upon. He has never finished outside the top 20, finished top 10 last year, and as we mentioned earlier, went all the way in 2022. Augusta has been a lucky course for Scheffler and we expect the Texan golfer to lift the trophy this Sunday.
Jon Rahm to Finish Top Five at 3.40
An on-song Jon Rahm can be nearly unstoppable. Before leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf last year, Rahm cruised to his first Masters title. Now, he returns to Georgia to fight for his throne. Rahm can be a hard to beat opponent, thanks to his unique blend of brute force and finesse. A decorated cabinet of 20 professional titles, including two Major championships, speaks volume about his credentials.
Betting against the Spaniard golfer would not be one of the safest PGA 2024 Masters Tournament predictions to make. That said, we believe he will not be able to overcome Scheffler’s incredible title charge and have to settle for a top five finish.
PGA 2024 Masters Tournament Odds
Scottie Scheffler is the hottest title contender at Augusta, with odds of 4.75. Jon Rahm and Rory Mcllroy are his nearest challengers, but they trail the reigning number one by a significant margin. Both of them are favoured at 11.00 to become the champions.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: April 9th, 07:00 A.M. (GMT)
Scheffler is the unsurprising leader in the top five race as well. The PGA 2024 Masters Tournament odds for a Scheffler top five finish are as low as 2.00. Mcllroy and Rahm share similar odds again at 3.40. Xander Schauffele is at 4.20 to break into the top five and Hideki Matsuyama is at 4.75 to achieve the same feat.
We say play it safe here as both Scheffler and Rahm provide good value for their respective betting markets. Backing these two pose minimal risks, but have high return potential.
