- Scottie Scheffler (+500) is the current favorite in 2025 Masters odds.
- Why bettors should expect Collin Morikawa to earn his first green jacket.
- The case for Ludvig Aberg to match his 2024 performance this April.
Just over a month separates golf bettors from 2025’s first major championship: The Masters.ย
As it stands, Scottie Scheffler is +50 to claim his third green jacket and second consecutive win at Augusta National.ย
Including Scheffler, five players are +1200 or shorter to win the green jacket: Rory McIlroy (+800), Jon Rahm, Ludvig Aberg and Xander Schauffele (all +1200).ย
Hereโs a look at the Masters odds as well as my early Masters picks.

My Masters Predictions
*Odds are reflective at time of writing
Collin Morikawa (+2500) to Win the Masters
Based on 2025 Masters Odds, I predictย Collin Morikawa (+2500) is the winner of this year’s first major.
After a disappointing freshman and sophomore appearance at Augusta, Morikawa has slowly learned how to play this track.ย
In the last three years, heโs recorded a top-10 finish or better all three times, including a T-3rd in 2024.ย
Over that three-year span, Morikawa ranks second to Scheffler in SG: TOT at Augusta National.ย
The two-time major winner has also excelled at Riviera Country Club, the course with the strongest correlations to Augusta.ย
Over that same three-year period, Morikawa posted two top-10โs and three top-20โs in the Pacific Palisades.ย
Plus, Morikawa has gained strokes in all three tee to green categories โ off the tee, approach and around the green โ each of the last two seasons.ย
In totality, he ranked fourth and eighth (to date) on tour in SG: T2G in the last two seasons.ย
For those reasons, I like the price on Morikawa and expect movement before April.

Ludvig Aberg (+1200) to Win the Masters
My second 2025 Masters pick for April’s major championship isย Ludvig Aberg (+1200).
Aberg came extremely close to ending the Masters debutant winless run last April, ultimately settling for a runner-up finish.ย
Illness plagued Aberg in late January through February, but a win at the Genesis should give hope to those considering backing Aberg at the Masters.ย
That week, Aberg gained 10 strokes tee-to-green, the third-best output of his entire career.ย
As of this writing, Aberg faces tests at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship. Success at those tracks could lead to a further reduction in Abergโs Masters odds.ย
Coincidentally, Abergโs best tee-to-green week in his career came at TPC Sawgrass last year. Ultimately, Aberg finished in a tie for eighth that week.ย
Two more elements are worth noting.ย
Aberg finished in a tie for fifth at Kapalua earlier this January. Per datagolf.com, Kapalua rates out as the third-most correlative course to Augusta National.ย
Lastly, Aberg ranks 22nd on tour this year in birdie or better percentage on Par 5โs. That usually proves an essential element for success at Augusta.ย
While the price is short, I like Aberg to learn from his experience last year and don a green jacket come April.ย
