Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy Lead 2026 Masters Odds Just Under 2 Months Out ...Middle East

With the 2026 Masters at Augusta National now less than two months away, the futures board at DraftKings is starting to reflect what the golf world already knows: Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are in a class of their own heading into April.

Scheffler sits at +300, with McIlroy close behind at +600. From there, the field spreads out considerably, offering a wide range of options for bettors looking for value beyond the top two names.

The Top of the Board: Scheffler and McIlroy

Scheffler’s position as the clear favorite is hard to argue against. His fourth-place finish at the 2025 Masters extended his streak to four consecutive top-10 finishes at Augusta, and in six total appearances, he has never finished outside the top 20. He also won two majors in 2025, the PGA Championship and The Open Championship, and added several more Tour victories to his resume.

At +300, he carries the shortest odds in the field by a wide margin. That implies roughly a 25 percent win probability according to the book, which is historically generous for any single player in a major.

McIlroy comes in at +600 as the defending champion after his dramatic playoff win over Justin Rose in 2025. That victory ended a long wait for McIlroy, who completed the career grand slam with his Masters win. The question for bettors is whether McIlroy can back it up, or whether winning the Masters removes some of the hunger that drove him to that performance.

McIlroy has always been viewed as a strong fit for Augusta National, and his 2025 win could be the start of something rather than a one-time breakthrough.

How the Rest of the 2026 Masters Odds Stack Up

Behind the top two, the board opens up with several players in the +1000 to +5000 range who have legitimate cases for contention.

Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau are both listed at +1000. Rahm won the Masters in 2023 and has the kind of all-around game that translates well to Augusta. DeChambeau is a longer shot in terms of fit, but his power and improving short game make him dangerous at any major.

Tommy Fleetwood comes in at +1600. He has put together a strong recent run of form and has been knocking on the door at majors for the better part of two years.

Xander Schauffele sits at +1800 after his 2024 PGA Championship win demonstrated his ability to close out a major. Collin Morikawa (+2500) and Ludvig Aberg (+2600) round out the upper mid-tier. Aberg’s Augusta debut in 2024 produced a solo second-place finish, which was remarkable considering it was his first major appearance. He has dealt with a knee injury in recent months but will be eyeing a strong 2026.

Mid-Range Players Worth a Look at the 2026 Masters

If you are building a multi-player ticket for the Masters, the +3000 to +5000 range deserves attention. Here are some names from the DraftKings board that stand out:

Each of these players represents a reasonable flier at a price that could return real value on a small stake.

Longer Shots and Sleepers on the Board

The +5000 and beyond range is where bettors can take shots on players whose upside may not be fully reflected in their odds.

Patrick Cantlay (+5000), Robert MacIntyre (+5000), and Will Zalatoris (+5500) all have the kind of technical games that translate at Augusta. Zalatoris has already finished runner-up at the Masters, which is as encouraging a track record as you can have at this price.

Shane Lowry (+5500) and Matt Fitzpatrick (+5500) are steady ball-strikers who have major wins on their resumes. Akshay Bhatia (+6000) is one of the more intriguing young names on the board given his recent Tour performances.

At the very bottom of the board, names like Davis Thompson (+14000) and Ryan Fox (+12000) are long shots, but that kind of price is exactly where upside lives if you want to take a small stake on a player who peaks at the right time.

Key Trends to Know Before Betting the Masters

The history of Masters results offers a few patterns worth noting.

Nine of the last 11 Masters winners had played in three or more Masters before their win. Eight of the last 11 winners had previously logged a top-5 finish at Augusta. The last 11 Masters winners all ranked inside the world top 25. And eight of the last 11 had logged a win within their previous seven events.

These trends matter when you are evaluating the lower end of the board. A first-time Masters participant at +10000 is an exciting flier, but the historical record suggests that Augusta rewards familiarity.

The last four Masters winners also ranked inside the top seven in the field in greens-in-regulation percentage, underscoring how much iron play matters at Augusta National.

Timing Your Bet on 2026 Masters Odds

There are still nearly two months of PGA Tour events between now and the Masters. A lot can shift on this board between now and the first tee shot on April 9.

Scheffler and McIlroy are unlikely to get longer unless one of them has a rough stretch or a health issue surfaces. But mid-tier players can see their prices move significantly based on one strong weekend. If a name like Fleetwood or Hovland wins a relevant event between now and Augusta, expect their odds to shorten.

If you have strong conviction on a player in the +3500 or higher range, acting sooner rather than later may protect your price. For the top of the board, the odds are unlikely to get dramatically better before the tournament begins.

Responsible Gambling and Bankroll Management

Before you place any bets on the 2026 Masters, take a moment to think about how much you are willing to set aside for golf futures specifically.

A common approach is to keep futures spending as a fixed portion of your total betting budget, somewhere in the range of 10 to 15 percent, so that a series of losses does not derail your broader bankroll. Because golf futures sit idle for weeks or months before they resolve, it is easy to forget about them and over-extend without realizing it.

Some bettors spread a fixed amount across four or five players at varying price points. Others concentrate on one or two players they have high conviction on. Either approach can work, but the most important thing is that you decide the total amount before you start, not after.

If gambling ever starts to feel like something you need rather than something you enjoy, take that seriously.
