The first major winner of the year will be revealed this weekend and we’ve got five bets for punters to consider in our 2023 Masters predictions.
There are plenty of talking points ahead of the 87th staging of this iconic event at Augusta National and our infographic highlights the key Masters trends at Augusta since 2000.
However, these are our best bets from the different markets available in the 2023 US Masters odds:
JORDAN SPIETH TO WIN MASTERS @ 18/1
Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are all single-figure prices to win so there is plenty of value around for punters looking to oppose that trio. Spieth is the fourth favourite but is twice the price of Rahm and that looks good value based on his Augusta record and his recent form. The Texan won the Masters in 2015, was tied for second either side of that and was third in both 2018 and 2021. Spieth also had two top-five finishes last month so has plenty to be confident about and knows how to get it done at Augusta.
TONY FINAU TO WIN MASTERS @ 25/1
Another serious contender in the outright Masters odds is Finau, who would be a popular winner if he ends the week wearing the Green Jacket. Finau has always looked to have the game to win a major and is comfortable at Augusta, where he has one top-five finish and two other top-10 finishes to his name. Since the last of the majors in 2022, Finau has won three PGA Tour tournaments so there are no longer questions marks about his ability to handle the pressure in the final round.
COREY CONNERS TO FINISH IN TOP 10 @ 3/1
Conners has finished in the top 10 at the last three Masters and his current form suggests he can continue that run. The Canadian already looked a good option for Masters betting tips before Sunday when he won the Valero Texas Open for the second time. Eight of his last 12 rounds at Augusta have been par or better and that kind of consistency could see him near the top of the leaderboard once more.
TOMMY FLEETWOOD FIRST-ROUND LEADER @ 50/1
A first PGA Tour victory continues to elude Fleetwood and whether he has the consistency to end that drought here is questionable. The Englishman will start the week full of confidence though after his third place at the Valspar Championship and has made promising starts before, including twice leading the prestigious Players’ Championship at Sawgrass after the first round. Two previous rounds of 66 at Augusta show he is capable of posting a low score so we’re backing Fleetwood to get off to a flying start this week.
HOLE IN ONE IN ROUND 4 @ 5/4
Holes in one are becoming a more common occurrence at the Masters. Of the 33 aces that have taken place during the tournament, 19 have happened this century with Stewart Cink the latest to hole out from the tee on the 16th last year. The forecast for this week features plenty of rain with the threat of thunderstorms even putting a Sunday finish in doubt. Whenever round four takes place, the expected rain should have made the greens more receptive than usual so backing a hole in one is a fun bet to complete our 2023 Masters predictions.
