The year's first major tournament is edging ever closer as the best golfers gather at Augusta National for the 2024 US Masters. Catch the event from April 11th until the 14th, where world number 1 Scottie Scheffler and his fellow competitors battle it out for the iconic green jacket. Below, we have taken a look ahead of the tournament at the odds and predictions for the 2022 Masters Champion to replicate his winning formula this time out.
Arguably one of the most anticipated events on the golfing calendar, the US Masters is the one that every golfer wants to win. To be the best, you have to beat the best over 4 rounds, 18 holes each. This year's Masters roster features last year's champion and world number 3, Jon Rahm, world number 2 and up for the fight, Rory McIlroy, and the current world number 1, Scottie Scheffler, alongside all of the other top golfers in the field. Scheffler will be hoping to carry his positive 2024 form onto the green at Augusta and is the current favorite to claim the green jacket. The latest odds ahead of the Masters can be found below.
The American has had a strong start to the events so far in 2024, most recently finishing T10 at the Genesis Invitational. He has now gone on to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship back to back, and is in great form ahead of the Master. Since the US PGA Championship last year, Scheffler has occupied the number 1 world ranking and kick-started 2024 with a T5 at The Sentry. He has since gone on to finish T17 in The American Express, T6 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and T3 at the WM Phoenix Open, respectively. The 27-year-old will be hoping to take the Masters Champion title and jacket back into his possession this year.
Scheffler had the season of his life in 2023, finishing with the seventh-lowest score in PGA Tour history. Most notably, the best score on the list, whose name is not that of the one and only Tiger Woods. The fellow American and golfing legend occupies the top 6 spots with the highest scores. The 27-year-old Scheffler claimed his first Players Championships in 2023, becoming just the third player to hold both the Masters and Players Championships titles at the same time, again joining fellow countryman Woods and another golfing legend in Jack Nicklaus.
