The Masters is a few weeks away - thought it was worth kicking off the discussion early with a few stats as we’ll start to see the usual offers from the bookies soon (extra places, hotshots etc).

Masters dates are . Thu, 10 Apr 2025 – Sun, 13 Apr 2025 (GMT 1PM+)

Odds of previous winners (decimal)
2024 - Scottie Scheffler 5.5
2023 - Jon Rahm 10
2022 - Scottie Scheffler 17
2021 - Hideki Matsuyama 47
2020 - Dustin Johnson 9.5
2019 - Tiger Woods 15
2018 - Patrick Reed 51
2017 - Sergio Garcia 51

Favourite - Scheffler’s win last year was the first favourite to win the Masters in 19 years (Woods in 2005)

Repeat/First time winners - 7 of the last 11 Master’s winners were first time Master’s winner

Opening round - last 19 Masters has seen the eventual winner finish in the top 11 at the end of day 1

Majors form - 10 of the last 11 Masters winners has finished in the top 6 in at least 1 major in the previous 2 seasons

Round breakdown over the past 4 seasons (inc ties)

		R1	R2	R3	R4	To Par
2024	Scheffler	-6 (2nd)	E	-1	-4	-11
2023	Rahm	-7 (1st)	-3	1	-3	-12
2022	Scheffler	-3 (4th)	-5	-1	-1	-10
2021	Matsuyama	-3 (2nd)	-1	-7	1	-10
2020	Johnson	-7 (1st)	-2	-7	-4	-20

My personal approach to the majors is to build a portfolio of bets weeks leading up the start of the tournament. 

I currently have a starting position of Aberg at 20/1 to win taken a few weeks ago and aim to have a roster of 4-6 golfers for the tourmament
