Masters predictions, picks, odds: Who wins at Augusta National in 2024?
Masters predictions aren’t an exact science. The last four winners at Augusta National were first-time champions.
But there are always a few hints. Think about who won the Masters in 2023: Jon Rahm was poised for another breakout moment since winning the 2021 U.S. Open, and he delivered by capturing his first green jacket.
The Masters odds board has big names: Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Rahm, Xander Schauffele, Justin Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama.
But there have been surprises in Augusta in the past. Tiger Woods’ 2019 victory shocked the world. Charl Schwartzel scooped up the 2011 Masters championship when Rory McIlroy shot a final-round 80. Trevor Immelman won in 2008 despite never having won on the PGA Tour.
Jack Nicklaus won in 1986 after a six-year major drought.
Let’s take a look at some Masters picks, predictions and latest odds to win in 2024.
Masters predictions, picks
Top Masters pick 2024
Scottie Scheffler is the easy choice. He’s the favorite, having won at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship in back-to-back weeks earlier this season, followed by a runner-up finish at the Houston Open.

Scheffler ranks atop nearly all of the PGA Tour’s ball-striking statistical categories. Can he really keep this streak going? If he wins at Augusta National, he’d have won three of his past four starts, including The Players and Masters, with a runner-up finish squeezed in. There’s a reason that type of historic stretch doesn’t come along often — it’s difficult.

Best non-Scheffler Masters pick
Brooks Koepka owns five major victories, including the 2023 PGA Championship. He tied for second behind Rahm at last year’s Masters.
Koepka has three top-10 Masters finishes despite never having won a green jacket. He’s competitive at majors, with 18 top-10 and 14 top-5 finishes in 38 career major starts.
Best Masters 2024 dark horse pick
Dustin Johnson at +4000 is tough to beat. Johnson won the 2020 Masters, held in November due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yes, he tied for No. 48 last year. But Johnson has five top 10 Masters finishes since 2015, including three inside the top four. Johnson won at LIV Golf’s Las Vegas Invitational earlier this season and placed fifth at Mayakoba.

Who won Masters in 2023
Jon Rahm won the 2023 Masters, shooting a Sunday 69 to capture a four-shot win over Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson for his second major victory.
Rahm and Koepka played 30 holes together on Sunday because their third-round ended after eight holes due to weather. Rahm trailed by two shots when they returned to the course Sunday and made up six shots.
It was golf’s first major that pitted PGA Tour players, one of whom was Rahm at the time, against the newly formed LIV Golf league. Rahm jumped to No. 1 in the World Golf Rankings, then joined LIV 10 months later.
