The US Masters at Augusta National is the most prestigious golf tournament in the world, with the winner awarded the coveted green jacket at the end of a week of thrilling golf.
Legends like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Arnold Palmer have several green jackets in the wardrobe, and many modern-day pros will be hoping to secure their first jacket or add to their collection as the action gets underway in April.
Here, we explain how you can bet on the US Masters and reveal this year’s odds alongside some handy betting tips to remember as you make your selections.
Betting on the US Masters – The First Major of the Year
The 2024 US Masters is the 88th iteration of this legendary golf major, and it will run from April 8th until April 14th, 2024. As always, the tournament will be held at Augusta National in Georgia.
The Masters attracts millions of viewers from all around the world, as it is the first of four major tournaments held every year. For many, it signifies the true start of the golf season and is the one that all pros want to win.
At Parimatch, we offer great value odds for the US Masters and all other golf tournaments scheduled throughout the calendar year. Let’s look at the odds for this year’s event and the options available as you put together your betting slip.
What are the Odds on the Masters this Year?
American Scottie Scheffler is this year’s pre-tournament favourite at odds of 9/2* at Parimatch. Scottie is currently the world number one and will be looking to add to his 2022 triumph at Augusta National with a second green jacket this year.
Rory McIlroy is second favourite ahead of this year’s event, at odds of 10/1*. The enigmatic Northern Irishman hasn’t won a major for ten years since he landed the PGA Championship at Valhalla in 2014. He will be looking to end his barren spell in Georgia this year, and he’s in fine form as he goes into the event as the second-best-ranked golfer in the world.
Here’s a selected list of the pre-tournament favourites for this year’s Masters:
| Golfer | Odds* |
| Scottie Scheffler | 9/2 |

How to Bet on the Masters at Parimatch
The easiest way to bet on the US Masters at Parimatch is to bet on the golfer you think will win the Green Jacket. This to-win market is popular with all golf fans and is a great way to keep your eyes on your favourite golfer throughout the tournament.
You can also opt for an each-way bet, which means you’re betting on a golfer to win or place at Augusta. This softens the blow if your chosen golfer suffers a breakdown at Amen Corner and drops down the Masters leaderboard at the end of the final round!
Another option is to bet on the first-round leader, which broadens your betting options. Usually, only the top players in the world are in with a shout on the final day, but anyone in the field can lead after day one, so it’s a great way to pick someone from outside the usual crop of elite players.
Another popular betting option on the US Masters is to back a player to make the cut. If you’re new to golf betting, a cutline is established after two rounds, and only those players with a lower score proceed to the weekend for a chance to win the Masters.
US Masters Betting Tips
So, who’s looking good ahead of the 2024 Masters, and what should you consider before making your selections? Here are some tips to bear in mind:
- American golfers typically dominate the leaderboard at the Masters. 63 of the 87 editions of the Masters have been won by an American player.
- Always check the World Golf Rankings before backing a player to win at Augusta. Though Scheffler is ranked number one, American players like Patrick Cantlay, Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark, and Max Homa are a fixture in the WGR top ten and could offer good value for money in the betting stakes at Augusta National.
- In 2021, Japanese superstar Hideki Matsuyama became the first-ever Asian player to win the Masters. But with several Asian starlets set to enter the Masters this year, there could be another Asian player among the top finishers in 2024.
