Cameron Smith is one of the most talented golfers on the PGA Tour, but the 22-1 odds to win the 2023 Masters at Caesars Sportsbook don’t reflect that. According to SportsLine’s model, Smith won’t even crack the top 10 at Augusta National.
The model is also targeting Xander Schauffele (20-1) and three other longshots to make a strong run at the title. Schauffele has been one of the most consistent golfers on the PGA Tour over the past few years, and he’s already won a major championship.
Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm Lead the Way
Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are the top favorites at +650, +750 and +800, respectively, to win the 2023 Masters. Scheffler has been one of the most consistent golfers on the PGA Tour over the past few years, and he’s already won a major championship. McIlroy is a four-time major champion and has been in contention at Augusta National in the past. Rahm is a two-time major champion and has been in contention at Augusta National in the past.
The Model’s Best Bets for the 2023 Masters
SportsLine’s model is targeting four golfers with 20-1 or better odds to win the 2023 Masters. Headlining the list is Xander Schauffele, who is 20-1 to win the 2023 Masters. Schauffele has been one of the most consistent golfers on the PGA Tour over the past few years, and he’s already won a major championship.
The model is also high on Patrick Cantlay (25-1), Hideki Matsuyama (25-1) and Tony Finau (30-1). Cantlay is a two-time PGA Tour winner and the current world No. 8. Matsuyama is a five-time PGA Tour winner and the current world No. 10. Finau is a three-time PGA Tour winner and the current world No. 14.
Why You Should Back These Longshots
All four of these golfers have the potential to make a deep run at the 2023 Masters. Schauffele has the experience of winning a major championship and has been one of the most consistent golfers on the PGA Tour over the past few years. Cantlay and Matsuyama have both been in contention at Augusta in the past, and Finau has the power and length off the tee that is necessary to succeed at Augusta National.
Additional Longshots to Watch Out For
In addition to the four golfers that the model is targeting, there are a few more longshots that should not be overlooked. Adam Scott (30-1) is the reigning Masters champion and should be a contender in 2023. Patrick Reed (35-1) is a former Masters champion and is always in contention when he plays at Augusta.
Justin Thomas (20-1) is a major champion and one of the best golfers in the world. Collin Morikawa (25-1) is a major champion and has been oneof the most consistent golfers on the PGA Tour this season.
The 2023 Masters is still a long way away, but these longshots should be on your radar if you’re looking to make a bet on the tournament. With the right bet, you could be walking away with a huge payday. With so many experienced golfers in the field and the potential for an unknown to emerge, the 2023 Masters promises to be an exciting tournament.
