2023 Masters: Best bets and odds explored

The 87th edition of the Masters Tournament is just around the corner. One of the four major golf championships for men, the event is probably the biggest one on the golf calendar. This year’s Masters is set to tee off at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, from April 6 to 9.

Ahead of the event, the PGA Tour revealed the list of players who qualified. The list included the likes of defending champion and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, World No. 2 Jon Rahm, No. 3 Rory McIlroy and five-time Masters winner Tiger Woods, among others. Interestingly, the list also included top-rated LIV Golf stars like Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and Cameron Smith.

Unsurprisingly, the big names also hold the best odds for the event. Fans of the PGA Tour will be relieved that the top-3 best bets at the 2023 Masters are players from the American circuit. However, the next best position is held by LIV’s Australian superstar Smith.
