2024 Masters odds, field: Surprising PGA picks, predictions from same golf model that called 10 majors
Scottie Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 ranked golfer, has been dominating on the PGA Tour this season, but his recent competition hasn’t included players like Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson. Scheffler is the 13-4 favorite in the latest 2024 Masters odds, but could those odds be too steep given all the talent in the 2024 Masters field? Rahm won last year’s Masters and looks to become the first back-to-back champion since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002. The 29-year-old is 12-1 in the latest 2024 Masters odds, with Rory McIlroy at 10-1 and Koepka at 11-1.
The 2024 Masters tees off from Thursday, April 11 at Augusta National Golf Club and Woods (100-1) is expected to compete. Who should you include in 2024 Masters predictions? Before locking in any 2024 Masters picks of your own, entering picks on sites like DraftKings or FanDuel, or finalizing Masters props and Masters Pick Six entries, be sure to see the 2024 Masters 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.
McClure’s model predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,000.
The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm’s second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.
In addition, McClure’s best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic. This same model has also nailed a whopping 10 majors entering the weekend, including the past two Masters. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the Masters 2024 field finalized, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
