Scottie Scheffler is the most favored to win the 2025 Masters with odds of 4-1. The World No. 1's victory at the tournament last year is one for the books as he totaled 11 under par 277. Although the 28-year-old has taken a brief break from golf due to an injury that occurred during Thanksgiving that required surgery, he put up an incredible 2024 season with seven victories.

Scheffler has two major titles to his name—the 2022 and 2024 editions of the Masters. Following his stellar performance at the Tour Championship and the Paris Olympics, he is the fan favorite to defend his title.

#2. Xander Schauffele

With odds of 9-1, Xander Schauffele is the second favored to win the Masters this year. Having made seven appearances at the tournament, the 31-year-old has finished inside the top ten four times and missed the cut only once in 2022.

Having captured two major championship victories last year at the PGA Championship and The Open Championship, he placed solo 8th at the Masters. The Olympian recorded his best-ever finish at the tournament in 2019, where he tied for second place.


#3. Rory McIlroy
