The first major tournament of the season begins on Thursday with the 2024 Masters at Augusta National. Five-time Masters winner Tiger Woods joins a loaded field that is headlined by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is the +325 favorite (risk $100 to win $325) in the 2024 Masters odds. He is followed by Rory McIlroy (10-1), Brooks Koepka (11-1) and defending champion Jon Rahm (12-1). Woods is a 100-1 longshot on the PGA odds board. 

If picking an outright winner doesn't intrigue you, be sure to check out the available 2024 Masters prop bets. Golf prop bets are growing in popularity because they allow fans to follow the action throughout the weekend, or on a round-to-round basis. 

We simulated the Masters 2024 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises. Join SportsLine here to see the model's shocking projected leaderboard.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 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 Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, the model included Nick Taylor in its best bets to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. That bet hit at +7000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,900. McClure's best bets also included 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, including the past two Masters! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns! Join SportsLine now to see the model's shocking Masters picks from 10,000 simulations!

We can tell you that one of McClure's favorite Masters prop picks is Ludvig Aberg to be the top debutant at +275 odds. Aberg was ranked No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for a total of 29 weeks before turning pro last summer, and he won his first PGA Tour event at the RSM Classic in November. McClure has also locked in a slew of other prop bets for the 2024 Masters, including a prop that pays almost 20-1 from an unlikely player!
