"Scottie Scheffler enters the week as the clear chalk, but the betting market has been reluctant to load up on him given the short number. His last three starts produced finishes of T-22, T-24, and T-12, accompanied by some of his weakest approach numbers in recent memory."
"Rory McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam here last April, making a 4-foot birdie putt on the 18th to force a playoff and then winning it on the first extra hole against Justin Rose. The question is whether the burden-free version of McIlroy is better or worse at Augusta than the one driven by obsession."
The 90th edition of the Masters Tournament begins on April 9 at Augusta National Golf Club. Scottie Scheffler is the favorite at +500, despite recent inconsistent performances. He has a strong history at Augusta, never finishing outside the top 20 in seven starts. Rory McIlroy, the defending champion at +1300, completed the career Grand Slam last year but has shown inconsistent form in 2026. The tournament promises a competitive field with various contenders and uncertainties.
