One of the most anticipated events on the PGA Tour schedule begins when the 2024 Masters tees off at Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday, April 11. The first major of the season features a 2024 Masters field headlined by defending champion Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy. Scheffler is the 13-4 favorite (+325) in the latest 2024 Masters odds, followed by McIlroy (10-1), Brooks Koepka (11-1) and and Rahm (12-1). Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods comes in at 100-1 after opening at 75-1 and moving as high as 160-1. He withdrew from last year's Masters after making the weekend and withdrew from the 2024 Genesis Invitational with the flu.

Before locking in any 2024 Masters picks, make sure you see the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf betting and fantasy expert Sia Nejad.

Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He's had incredible success in the outright and first-round leader markets and in betting head-to-head matchups. He has also been solid with his head-to-head matchups since last year's Charles Schwab Challenge, going 35-21-2 and returning 10.00 units over that span. That's a $1,000 profit for $100 bettors since May 2023.

Nejad also nailed 75-1 longshot Wyndham Clark as the outright winner at the Wells Fargo Championship. In 2023, SportsLine debuted "The Early Wedge," and in the first three months of the show, he hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners.

Now, Nejad has been digging into the 2024 Masters field to find the best value and just locked in his best bets and favorites to avoid.

One surprise: Nejad is completely fading Rory McIlroy, even though he's a four-time major champion and one of the top favorites at 10-1! Another curveball: Nejad is high on former Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama, even though he's a huge longshot at 20-1! "His Masters history is excellent and he's done it by showcasing elite ball striking," Nejad told SportsLine. "He's also starting to trend very well in the short game department and appears to have shaken off whatever nagging injuries ailed him over the last year."

Moreover, Nejad is jumping on a longshot who's priced at more than 150-1! This player "has been playing well in 2024 and has a decent track record at the Masters." You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any 2024 Masters picks of your own!

So what are Nejad's best bets for the 2024 Masters, and which player could bring a huge payday at more than 150-1? ... Join SportsLine right now to see Sia Nejad's top picks for the 2024 Masters, all from the expert who is 35-21 on head-to-head picks!
