The Masters is always one of the biggest weeks of the year in the betting community and prop bets are one of the most popular options. Below, you’ll find some of our favorite prop bets for the week.
The year’s first major championship has finally arrived as the game’s best players have made their way down Augusta National Golf Club’s Magnolia Lane as preparation continues for Thursday’s opening round.
Jon Rahm returns as the defending champion and will make his first major start since leaving the PGA Tour for the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf League. He’s joined in the field by world No. 1 and 2022 winner Scottie Scheffler, five-time major champion Brooks Koepka and four-time major champion Rory McIlroy, among others.
Tiger Woods is also in the field, and Will Zalatoris was very complimentary of his game after playing a practice round with him on Monday.
Let’s dive into some of our favorite prop bets for the 2024 Masters.
Tiger Woods to make the cut (+110)

You really think Tiger Woods isn’t going to go all-out in an effort to make his 24th straight cut at the Masters? Yeah, this is going on the card.
Shane Lowry, top Great Britain and Ireland (+600)

Rory McIlroy is one of my picks to win — just like he is every year — but Shane Lowry has played great golf at Augusta National over the last four years (four top 25s). His last three finishes on the PGA Tour this season: T-4 (Cognizant Classic), 3rd (Arnold Palmer Invitational) and T-19 (Players).
Brooks Koepka, low LIV Golf member (+600)

It’s Brooks Koepka at a major championship, folks. Don’t overthink this one.
Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele to finish inside top 10 (+500)

McIlroy’s approach play was much improved last week at the Valero thanks to a short visit with Butch Harmon. If that carries over into this week, he’s going to contend.
Schauffele has six top-10 finishes in eight starts on Tour this season and has three top 10s in his last five Masters appearances.
