Will Rory McIlroy win the Masters?
The “Around the Horn” crew makes their predictions about which golfer will win the Masters.
The sportsbooks are split on their favorite to win the Masters, but the betting public is gravitating toward the defending champion.
Anthony Sallaroli, who oversees golf odds for Caesars Sportsbook, said public support for Scheffler and recent strong showings by the defending champion improved his odds to 5-1 earlier this week. Most sports books have more odds placed on Scheffler to win the tournament than any other golfer, and as of Tuesday he has pulled in twice as much money as any other golfer at Caesars.
Rahm was the consensus Masters favorite in late February, but his odds have grown over the past month after he pulled out of The Players Championship with illness and lost in the first round of the WGC-Dell Match Play event.
Caesars Sportsbook has Patrick Cantlay 16-1, Jordan Spieth 18-1 and Tony Finau 20-1.
Tiger Woods is 80-1 to win the tournament, but finds favor. Only six players drew more bets to win than Woods on DraftKings.
