Tomorrow, 95 golfers begin their quest for the green jacket at Augusta National Golf Course in Augusta, Ga., and we're making our outright Masters picks to win 2025's first major.

The Masters annually serves as the first true sign of summer for those who don't get to play golf all year round. Hogan Bridge, Butler Cabin, azaleas, and flowering dogwoods will light up our television screens and call out to all golfers battling the last attempts of a far-too-long winter.

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler and cursed Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy have held strong as favorites by the Masters odds across our Masters betting sites over the past year. The tournament will begin Thursday with Rounds 1 and 2 aired on ESPN. Weekend coverage will be on CBS until the winner is crowned on Sunday evening.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Masters outright picks

Here are my best outright picks to win this week's Masters at Augusta National Golf Course in Augusta, Ga.

๐Ÿ€ Rory McIlroy

"This year is different", I tell myself for the 16th year in a row.

McIlroy returns to Augusta National off of a missed cut two years ago and a T-22 finish last year BUT with two wins under his belt in 2025. The Northern Irishman and four-time major winner won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Players Championship this season to enter Masters week with a rejuvenated swagger.

While that will do little to detract the doubters from his Masters struggles and major championship drought, he's averaging 1.04 strokes gained: off-the-tee across his last 20 measured rounds with an astounding 0.71 SG: putting over that time.

McIlroy has been one of the most popular Masters outright picks in the futures market, and I expect his odds to close shorter than +650.

๐ŸŽฏ Collin Morikawa

๐Ÿ‘‰ Best odds: +1800 via DraftKings ($10 bet pays $180 profit) | Implied win probability: 5.26%

A two-time major winner, Morikawa has been knocking on the door of Butler Cabin and the green jacket ceremony the past three years. He finished fifth, T-10, and T-3 in his last three Masters appearances.

He has two runner-up finishes already this season - both in Signature Events - while looking for his first PGA Tour win since the fall of 2023. Morikawa leads all qualified golfers in SG: approach and SG: tee-to-green over his past 20 measured rounds, as well as the past six months.

๐Ÿ† Xander Schauffele

Schauffele's T-12 result in a watered-down Valspar Championship field a few weeks ago is his best result amid a 2025 season that was disrupted by injury after just one event. After opening at +1400 to win the 2025 Masters last April, his odds have ticked up to an appealing +2200 despite his two major wins last summer.

We're fading the cautious betting public on this one and jumping on the higher number for last year's eighth-place finisher in Augusta.

๐Ÿ’ช Brooks Koepka

Sure, Koepka tied for 45th in the Masters last year and he just tied for 18th in LIV Golf: Miami. But this is a five-time major champion who was a co-runner-up at Augusta National just two years ago.

Furthermore, Koepka opened at +2000 to win the 2025 Masters last April and we're now getting an extra $130 in profit on a winning $10 bet at the +330 odds.
