The 88th edition of The Masters is finally here!
Last week, we won big on long-shot Akshay Bhatia (+6000) at the Valero Texas Open. Let's see if we can replicate the magic as we turn our attention to what many consider golf's most prestigious tournament.
This week's event features the best golfers in the world gathering at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club. The track is now a 7,510-yard par-72 with Bentgrass greens.
As for betting on the tournament, we've got you covered with everything you need, from the odds to best bets.
Let's dive in!
2024 Masters Favorites
As has been the case for much of the PGA Tour schedule, Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win it all.
In fact, Scheffler is one of the biggest favorites to win the tournament in recent memory, as the 2022 winner currently sits at +450. Per SportsOddsHistory, those are the shortest odds to win the Masters since Tiger Woods was at +350 in 2013.
Scheffler was a co-favorite last year but finished tied for 10th, shooting 4-under-par.
Last year's champion, Jon Rahm, is tied for the second-best odds to win this year with Rory McIlroy at +1100.
McIlroy's struggles to persevere at Augusta are well-documented, as it's the only major tournament he's yet to win. Following a second-place finish in 2022, McIlroy shot 5-over-par in last year's tournament as the other co-favorite.
What are Tiger Woods' odds of winning?
Woods is a huge long-shot bet to win his sixth green jacket. He currently sits at +14000, tied for the 44th on the betting board.
Woods made the cut at last year's Masters, but it was all downhill from there, as he ultimately withdrew.
As a side note, if you don't want to bet on Tiger's play, you can also bet on what he wears. Yes, you read that right.
Now that we teed off with the basics, let's approach the top favorites and my portfolio for this tournament.

OUTRIGHT BETS TO MAKE
If you follow me on Twitter or read this column, you know I love betting on golf long shots (+2000 or longer). There's just something thrilling about holding a lottery ticket deep into Sunday. It also presents you with multiple hedging opportunities if you want to eliminate some of your risks.
One guy that I ran to put some money on was Will Zalatoris. As my guy Chris "The Bear" Fallica noted in his Masters primer, Zalatoris has played extremely well at Augusta National.
