There are 17 multi-time Masters winners, four of whom are part of the 2024 Masters field. Tiger Woods is a five-time champion, while the others expected to tee off Thursday, April 11 from Augusta National Golf Club include Phil Mickelson (three wins), Jose Maria Olazabal (two) and Bubba Watson (two). Several others could join that elite club by the time next year’s Masters tees off from Augusta National. Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson have tasted victory at the Masters, while Jon Rahm is the defending champion entering the Masters 2024.
Another is 2022 winner Scottie Scheffler, the 5-1 favorite in the 2024 Masters odds and fresh off winning his second straight Players Championship. Rory McIlroy is still searching for his first victory at Augusta National Golf Club, and he’s 10-1. Others that could be popular 2024 Masters picks include Rahm (13-1), Brooks Koepka (21-1), Will Zalatoris (21-1) and Spieth (21-1). Before locking in your 2024 Masters picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,000.
The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm’s second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.
In addition, McClure’s best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 10 majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the Masters 2024 field is set, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2024 Masters predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 Masters: Xander Schauffele, a 24-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 30-year-old California native has finished in the top 10 in three of his last five appearances at Augusta National. That includes a second-place finish alongside Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson in 2019, when Woods finished one stroke ahead of them to win his fifth green jacket.
Schauffele has six top-five finishes at majors over his career and looks ready for another strong showing after making the top 10 in three of his six starts so far this season. He ranks eighth in the PGA Tour in total strokes gained (1.334) and strokes gained off the tee (0.719). His history at Augusta National plus the strong start to his season make him a player worth considering when you are making your 2024 Masters picks, according to the model.
The model has also examined where Tiger finishes. Since his Feb. 2021 car crash, Woods has played in just seven official events, completing three, withdrawing from three and missing one cut. His inactivity has seen his world ranking drop to No. 941, but he’s shown he can summon up enough at Augusta to remain competitive. He made his record-tying 23rd straight Masters cut last year in brutal weather conditions before a foot injury forced him to withdraw before the third round.
Woords’ career scoring average of 71.1 is the best in Masters history (min. 60 rounds), while his five victories are the second-most. His health could be the biggest determining factor on his play come the 2024 Masters, since he withdrew from his last event, the Genesis Invitational in February, due to flu-like symptoms. The model just locked in its Tiger Woods Masters picks here.
How to make 2024 Masters picks
The model is also targeting six golfers with Masters odds of 20-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s PGA picks here.
