2025 Masters odds, predictions: Favorites, long-shot bets to make
The 89th edition of The Masters is finally here!
Last week, Marc Leishman won LIV Miami, shooting 4-under on Sunday to put up a 6-under for the tournament. His strong day was good enough to outlast Charl Schwartzel by a stroke. Of the 95 golfers who will play at Augusta in Georgia from April 10 through 13, 12 of those are from LIV.
On the PGA Tour last week, Brian Harman won the Valero Open, closing out with a 3-over-75 for a three-shot victory— his first title since the 2023 Open Championship.
To play in the Masters, a golfer must be invited in one way or another — think of it more as qualifying, despite the language. Being a former Masters champion, or placing well enough in a recent major event, can get you a proverbial ticket to Augusta, which is how most of the LIV participants find themselves heading to Georgia once again for the Masters.
Last year's favorite entering the tournament was Scottie Scheffler at +500, and the 2022 winner of the tournament took home the title for the second time in his career. He is again the favorite this year at +400, followed by Rory McIlroy at +650. The Irishman has won every major except for the Masters, with his best finish coming in 2022 when he placed second. Rounding out the top five are Jon Rahm (the 2023 Masters winner), Collin Morikawa (finished third last year), and Xander Schauffele (finished second in 2019). Check out some other notable names along with their odds to win below.
After Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau at +2000 and Brooks Kopeka at +3000 are the LIV golfers with the best odds to win the event. Check out some other notable names along with their odds to win below.

Check it out: Justin Herbert highlights from celebrity golf event
Check it out: Justin Herbert highlights from celebrity golf event Justin Herbert signing a baby is an all time GOATed moment 🤣 @amfamchamp — ESPN Madison (@ESPNMadison) June 7, 2025 While things are on the slower side for quarterback Justin Herbert at this point of time, he's using his spare time to do things that he enjoys doing, including golfing. This past weekend, Herbert partook in the AmFam Championship, a PGA Tour event, played at TPC Wisconsin. He paired up with NFL legend Charles Woodson, as the two took on soccer legend Mia Hamm and two-time U.S. Open champion and event host Andy North. The event was to raise money for a children's hospital. Ultimately, Herbert and Woodson came up short against Hamm and North. But the event brought plenty of highlights of the Chargers signal-caller, including a clip of him signing the back of a baby's Chargers shirt. Just SOME of our favorite shots from Saturday's @amfamchamp Celebrity Foursome! Can we run it back again next weekend? #AmFamChamp — ESPN Madison (@ESPNMadison) June 8, 2025 Thanks @MiaHamm, @CharlesWoodson, Justin Herbert and host Andy North for a fun day! Team North-Hamm won the #AmFamChamp Celebrity Foursome and will have a $25,000 donation made in their names from the @StrickerFNDN to the American Family Children's Hospital. — AmFam Championship (@amfamchamp) June 8, 2025

Niemann wins LIV Golf Virginia for 4th victory in the Saudi-funded tour's first 8 events of the year
GAINESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Joaquin Niemann of Chile won LIV Golf Virginia on Sunday for his fourth victory in the Saudi-funded tour's first eight events of the season, closing with an 8-under 63 to beat Graeme McDowell and Anirban Lahiri by a stroke. Niemann broke out of a logjam at the top with birdies on Nos. 14-17 and parred the par-4 18th to finish at 15-under 198 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. The 26-year-old Niemann also won this year in Australia, Singapore and Mexico. He has six career LIV victories after winning twice on the PGA Tour. 'Pretty cool to be in this place, in this position right now,' Niemann said. 'I'm pretty thankful.' McDowell shot 66, and second-round leader Lahiri had a 68. Bryson DeChambeau, preparing for his U.S. Open title defense at Oakmont, had a 65 to tie for fourth with Phil Mickelson (65) and Bubba Watson (67) at 13 under. Jon Rahm was 10 under after a 68. DeChambeau and Lahiri led the Crushers to their second straight team title and record eighth overall, with Paul Casey and Charles Howell III completing the lineup. 'We're a beast of a team,' DeChambeau said, Mickelson holed a backward chip off a steep slope in heavy greenside rough for a birdie late in his round. 'One of my better ones,' Mickelson said. DeChambeau added: 'Vintage Phil. Got to be one of the greatest shots I've ever seen in my entire life.' ___ AP golf:
