The Masters
Rahmbo to shoot the lights out at Augusta…
It’s one of the best weeks in golf and William Hill News are ready to present their best betting tips for who will win the Green Jacket this year.
Jon Rahm 11/1
Our pick to win the Masters this year is none other than the 2023 winner, Jon Rahm.
The Spaniard has displayed impressive performances this year on the LIV tour, finishing inside the top five in all five events he’s featured in so far, including a victory in Hong Kong and a narrow defeat in a playoff to Bryson DeChambeau in South Africa last month.
His excellent form complements a great track record at Augusta National, finishing inside the top 10 in over half of his appearances at the first Major of the year.
Our traders share some the optimism for Rahm to go low this week, having shortened his price into 11/1 from 16/1 over recent weeks. He’s set to tee off as the second favourite in the field, behind Scottie Scheffler – the shortest price any active LIV golfer has been heading into The Masters.
A victory for Rahm this week would also mark the first Major championship won by an active LIV golfer, which would only strengthen the rival Tour’s resolve.
Ludvig Aberg 16/1
Next up in our predictions is the ever-strengthening Ludvig Aberg, who seemed unshakable until his final round collapse at The Players Championship.
An uncharacteristic four over-par on Sunday at Sawgrass casted some doubt over his ability to close out the big tournaments, but we can’t get away from his three top-five finishes in his last three events.
Aberg’s strong showing last year also makes him an attractive proposition; if it wasn’t for four dropped shots on his final two holes of the tournament, he’d have finished one back of Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose – again bringing his ability to close out high-pressure rounds into question.
Either way, he’s proven he can maintain strong discipline for 70 out of 72 holes at Augusta National, and could find himself in the midst of a final-day showdown once again this time around.
Patrick Reed 33/1
Patrick Reed is the pantomime villain people love to hate, but his Masters record is one many envy.
With five top-12 finishes since winning the tournament in 2018, Reed is a player you can never discount at Augusta. Competing in his first Major tournament since leaving LIV, he comes into this week on the back of two wins in his last five starts on the DP World Tour, in addition to a T2 finish in Bahrain.
Reed finished higher than people seem to remember in 2025; two shots shy of the British duo, mainly down to his acute short game and strokes gained in approach to the green (+1.19).
With a hot putter in his hand, Reed becomes a serious contender for a top-ten finish this year, but he’ll need others ahead of him in the betting to fall away if he’s to mount a genuine challenge for the Green Jacket.
Sungjae Im 100/1
At first glance, you might discard Sungjae Im after looking at his 100/1 odds, but therein lies the value. There is a strong case to be made that his form heading into this week provides context to his price, but after analysing his record in previous years, there is some serious motivation to pick Sungjae for an each-way bet.
His six Masters appearances include two missed cuts, but three top-10 finishes, including a runner-up finish on his debut in 2020.
The topic of Sungjae’s form can be looked at from both sides. He’s displayed some inconsistency, missing two cuts in March, but followed those results up with a T4 finish at the Valspar Championship (CUT, CUT, T4, T60).
When comparing his recent run to that of last year’s, strong parallels can be made. In his five events leading up to The Masters 2025, he was cut from two events and finished outside the top-60 twice, before going on to finish T5 at Augusta National (CUT, CUT, T19, T61, 60, T5). Clearly, he can turn it on for Masters week, and that’s what we’re anticipating this year.
