Get the latest odds and betting insights from SX Bet

The azaleas are blooming, Amen Corner is waiting, and the green jacket is up for grabs. It’s Masters weekend, the crown jewel of golf, and SX Bet has you covered with expert insights.

Bryson DeChambeau: The Driver is the Weapon

When Bryson is on, Augusta starts to feel like a pitch-and-putt. His sheer power off the tee reshapes par 5s into eagle opportunities, and his recent form suggests he’s no longer just swinging hard and hoping.

This is a more refined Bryson—approach play tightened, short game improved, and confidence rising after a T6 finish at the 2024 Masters, his best result to date at Augusta. If conditions play firm and fast, his distance advantage becomes a weapon few can match.

📊 Key Stats

• 2024 Masters Finish: T6 — best career result at Augusta

• Opening Round in 2024: 65 — co-leader after 36 holes

Scottie Scheffler: The Defending Champ

Scottie Scheffler enters the 2025 Masters as the defending champion. He dominated Augusta in 2024 to claim his second green jacket, and he’s shown no signs of slowing down.

While his putter still raises some questions, his ball-striking numbers are historically dominant. Despite his despite a hand injury late 2024 he is eyeing up a historic third green jacket.

📊 Key Stats

• Masters Record: Wins in 2022 & 2024, T10 in 2023. ​

• 2025 Form: Top finishes including T3 at The Genesis Invitational and 2nd at the Houston Open.

  
  

Collin Morikawa: Augusta’s Quiet Killer

T3, T10, 5th.That’s Morikawa’s record over the past three Masters—three straight top-10s, including a podium finish last year. He may not bring the buzz of a Bryson or a Rory, but no one has been more consistently elite at Augusta in recent years.

After a shaky start to the year, Morikawa flashed serious form at Bay Hill (T5) and followed it up with strong ball-striking at THE PLAYERS. His signature iron game is dialed in again, and when his putter behaves even slightly, he's a threat to win.

📊 Key Stats

• Last 3 Masters finishes: T3 (2024), 5th (2023), T10 (2022)

• Recent Form: 2nd at Arnold Palmer Invitational, T10 at The Players

Rory McIlroy: The Grand Slam Chase Continues

T2, T5, T7. Rory’s been knocking on Augusta’s door for over a decade. The green jacket is the final piece of the puzzle, and while it still eludes him, his Masters form is rock solid—three top-7 finishes in the last six years and eight career top-10s at Augusta.

The pressure of the career Grand Slam is always part of the story, but Rory rolls into 2025 with renewed confidence. He’s already bagged a win on the DP World Tour and is striking the ball as well as ever. When the putter gets warm, there may not be a more dangerous player on the leaderboard.

📊 Key Stats

• Best Masters Finish: 2nd (2022)

• 2025 Form: Win at The Players

Tommy Fleetwood: The Quiet Contender

T3, 33, T14. Fleetwood’s last three Masters finishes show steady progress—and a major step forward last year. His T3 in 2024 was his best result at Augusta, proving he can contend when it matters most.

He enters the 2025 Masters in excellent form, with strong finishes at Genesis, The Players, and Bay Hill. Fleetwood’s iron play has always been his calling card, but his short game and putting have been trending up. If conditions get tough, his composure and control could give him an edge over flashier names.

• 📊 Key Stats

  • Best Masters Finish: T3 (2024)

  • Recent Form: T5 at Genesis, T14 at The Players, T11 at Bay Hill
