OK, now, we present our nine favorite prop bets for the 2025 Masters. It’s a major tradition for us to do this article. CP especially feels good about his bets (and Henny agrees). So get out your units and bet wisely.
Hate to do this to our boy, but this feels like it should be –300. On Tuesday he hit nearly 250 shots on the practice range, second only to that absolute freak Bryson DeChambeau, and I write this he’s already hit over 140 on Wednesday (it’s not even 10 a.m.). He’s SEARCHING searching. He’s missed five consecutive cuts in the leadup and his best finish in eight starts this year is a T-26 at the Sentry, which has a field of 58 players. He says he feels close, but he also said that after the WMPO when he shot 69 on Friday before missing the cut. He hasn’t broken 70 eight rounds since. That T-3 here a year ago feels like it happened in a different century. –CP
Miss the cut parlay: Max Homa, Matt Fitzpatrick and Thriston Lawrence (+459, DraftKings) 
Ben Jared
Let’s get a little crazy and piggyback off CP’s Homa bet with a fun little parlay. Like Homa, Fitzpatrick has been miserable this year and also just parted ways with his longtime caddie. And as a Thriston Lawrence fantasy golf owner, I know his year has been quite poor. This is worth a pizza bet. –Stephen Hennessey, managing editor
Collin Morikawa top 20 After Round 1 (+100, BetRivers)
Full disclosure, I’m stealing this from my old buddy David Gordon, who works with Scott Van Pelt at ESPN as a golf researcher. The man is good with the numbies. Per Gordo, AKA Lord Gord, Morikawa has been T-31, T-13 and T-14 after Round 1 in his last three trips to Augusta National. It’s imperative to get off to a good start here if you plan on winning, and Morikawa certainly seems to be planning on at least contending yet again after last year’s close call. –Christopher Powers, staff writer
Lucas Glover to finish in the top 30 (+175, DraftKings) 
Jared C. Tilton
We know how important tee-to-green play is at Augusta National, and Glover’s been exceptional—gaining nearly 20 strokes/T2G in his past three starts. It’s his 11th start at Augusta National, where he finished top 20 last year. So a top 30? It might be time to get out the double hammer. –SH

Sergio Garcia to finish in the top 30 (+100, DraftKings)
Of the older European players who jumped ship to LIV, Sergio Garcia appears to be the only one who didn’t go there to die (just take a look at the Majesticks roster for an idea of what I’m talking about). Sergio has gone there and played really, really well, winning once in 2024 and a second time in 2025 and then nearly a third last week at Doral. He unfortunately has struggled mightily here since winning in 2017, missing five of six cuts. But in 18 prior appearances he’s finished inside the top 30 six times. He’s in form and he’s had plenty of success here and plenty of success in majors, even posting a T-12 in the U.S. Open last year. –CP
Robert MacIntyre to finish in the top 20 (+150, FanDuel)
OK, one more placement bet. We can’t not add the boy from Oban to this article. MacIntyre’s tee-to-green play has been so good in 2025, and in two starts at Augusta National, he was T-12 on debut in 2021 and 23rd in 2022. You’ll see many in the industry touting Bobby Mac this week, and it’s for good reason—he’s fifth in my custom model on RickRunGood.com, and I think he has a legitimate chance to factor on the weekend and cash this bet or us. –SH
Sepp Straka first-round leader (65-1, FanDuel) 
Douglas P. DeFelice
We’re a first-round leader kind of group here, so excuse us while we fire some darts here. The disrespect on Straka’s name from oddsmakers is embarrassing, frankly. Straka has proven he can contend in majors and is playing on an elite level in 2025. The big-hitting Georgia resident loves to get off to hot starts, too, and he’s eighth in birdie or better percentage in 2025, per RickRunGood.com. Fire away. –SH
Russell Henley first-round leader (55-1, FanDuel)
I’m on Henley to win and on Henley top 20. I won’t risk missing out on him being the first-round leader, either, which is his specialty. I almost feel too good about his chances this week to the point it’s starting to scare me. The thing is, he’s so consistently good with his irons that he’s always going to give himself plenty of looks at birdie and we know he can roll the rock, too. He’s also just simply been very solid in the majors over the last decade, posting 13 top-25 finishes in his last 30 majors, including a T-4 here in 2023 and back-to-back top-sevens in the U.S. and British Opens last year. –CP
Stephan Jaeger first-round leader (101-1, Bet365)
I love CP’s Henley bet, but let’s get crazy and go double the odds on Jaeger. Jaeger is top 25 in birdie or better percentage and loves getting off to a hot start. He’s in a comfortable pairing with Brian Harman and Corey Conners, so it’s worth a dart throw on Jaeger. –SH
