It is the Super Bowl of all golf events and it is upon us once again. After being rescheduled to last November due to the coronavirus, the 2021 Masters is the new season’s first major.
Online Sportsbooks to Bet on The Masters 2021
Last year’s winner, Dustin Johnson, is the favorite to repeat at +800. Jordan Spieth, who won last week at TPC San Antonio, and Bryson DeChambeau follow at +850.
In addition to betting on the overall winner, golf bettors can choose from a number of Masters golfer prop bets. Here’s a look at some of best.
Will There Be A Hole In One in the Final Round?
There is plenty of value on the “Yes” bet at +125 here. Since the Masters began, there has been at least one hole-in-one in 22 different Masters events. There has been one in each of the last four tournaments.
In 2019, both Justin Thomas and DeChambeau recorded aces on the par-3, 173-yard 16th hole at Augusta in the final round of play. Hole No. 16 has yielded 22 holes-in-one, the most in Masters history. Half of those aces have come in the past 10 tournaments.
At plus money, that makes this a wager worth taking.
Beginners Guide to Betting on the PGA
Top Australian Finisher: Adam Scott
Scott is 40 years of age and his best golf is behind him, but he tends to play Augusta pretty well. Scott won the Masters in 2013 and since then has finished T-32, T-9, T-42, T-38, and T-14.
The only other Australian player in the mix is Jason Day and Scott is primed to outshine his Aussie counterpart. Take Scott at +190 as the top finisher from Down Under.
Top American Finisher: Johnson
Yes, he’s favored to win it all after winning the Masters last November, but bettors can also find value in Johnson as the top American finisher.
There are seven Americans among the top ten betting favorites to win the Masters. Johnson is ranked No. 1 in the world and has the obvious advantage of having won at Augusta just five months ago.
He’s off to somewhat of a slow start this season finishing 54th at the WGC-Workday Championship and 48th at the Players Championship, but he is still the best player in the world.
If you like the upset here, you might like Collin Morikawa at +1600, but we’ll stick with the No. 1 player and No. 1 American in the world – Johnson at +700.

Will There Be an Albatross Scored at the 2021 Masters?
The albatross – the term for a double-eagle – is extremely rare especially in major golf events. In fact, it has only happened 18 times in the four majors. It has happened four times at the Masters. The most recent was recorded by Louis Oosthuizen in 2012.
Going three-under on a par-5 (which is the most common form of albatross) does not happen all that often. In addition to Oosthuizen’s, the others were recorded in 1935, 1967, and 1994. It’s doubtful it happens in 2021, which is why there is value on the “No” bet at +1200.
