The first major of the 2024 golf calendar begins on Thursday with the Masters. The event is filled with intrigue, as it contains the best golfers in the world from the PGA Tour, and the best golfers in the world from the LIV. Here are our three best bets.
Scottie Scheffler
There is no doubt that Scottie Scheffler of Ridgewood, New Jersey needs to be considered the clear favourite to win the 2024 Masters. The world number one won the 2022 Masters for his only major title. Over the last year Scheffler has won two prestigious events–the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational in dominant fashion as he beat Wyndham Clark by five strokes, and the 2024 Players Championship.
Scottie Scheffler is $5.50 to win the 2024 Masters. [bet-au-1]
Rory McIlroy
The world number two from Holywood, Northern Ireland is a four-time major winner as he won the 2011 United States Open, the 2012 and 2014 PGA Championship and the 2014 British Open. He has also been very competitive at the Masters as he has been in the top 10 seven times since 2014. There is slight concern in picking McIlroy however, as he has missed the cut at the Masters in two of the last three years. In 2024, McIroy has been victorious once as he won the Dubai Desert Classic in January by shooting a four round score of -14.
Rory McIlroy is $12.00 to win the 2024 Masters. [bet-au-1]
Jon Rahm
The world number three from Barrika, Spain is the reigning Masters champion. One of the newest members of the LIV Tour, Rahm is a two-time major champion as he also won the 2021 United States Open. It should be noted that Rahm has not won on the PGA Tour or even the LIV Tour since winning at Augusta a year ago.
Jon Rahm is $14.00 to win the 2024 Masters. [bet-au-1]
