2024 Masters Tee Times, Groups and Betting Predictions
The first major tournament of the season gets underway on Thursday, and the focus is squarely on the LIV stars making bids for this year’s green jacket, particularly defending Masters champion Jon Rahm, who trails only 2022 Masters winner Scottie Scheffler on the Masters odds as a +1000 bet.
However, with Tiger Woods returning to action and several newcomers in the field, here is a look at some of the best bets further down the Masters odds and props ahead of tee-off on the opening round on Thursday morning at Augusta National Golf Club.

Tiger Woods Well Represented on Masters Props
Tiger Woods returns to Augusta in search of a sixth green jacket, but also facing persistent health concerns given his recent track record. Tiger has appeared in just one tournament so far this season, lasting just a single round before bowing out at the Genesis Invitational.
However, his withdrawal from the Genesis had nothing to do with the leg and back injuries that have plagued him in recent years, with the 48-year-old pulling out due to a bout of the flu. In fact, that news was met with a collective sigh of relief, and while Tiger has not seen tournament action yet, he wowed observers with an impressive performance during a practice round at Augusta.
Positioned well off the pace as a +10000 bet on the Masters futures, Tiger remains a risky bet. However, there is room to make a value bet on the +350 odds of Tiger cracking the top 20 at Augusta for the 17th time in his career, as well as attractive +1600 odds of him shooting 72 or lower in each of this weekend’s three rounds. He tees off at 10:18 a.m. on Thursday.
Corey Conners Leads Canadians on Odds Board
Four Canadians are part of this year’s Masters field, led by Corey Conners, who is pegged as a +115 bet to emerge as top Canadian at this year’s event. Conners has flirted with destiny in recent appearances at Augusta, cracking the top 10 in three of the past four years. However, he has yet to put it all together so far this season, cracking the top 20 just once in nine outings and has failed to string together four straight rounds shooting par or better over his past three tournaments.
That opens the door for Adam Hadwin to finally have a breakthrough in his first Masters appearance since 2020. The 36-year-old has produced mixed results this season including three mixed cuts. However, he has also finished sixth or better in three of his past seven outings including a fifth-place performance two weeks ago at the Valspar, and offers lots of value as a +350 bet.
Any LIV Player To Win Masters
With defending Masters champion Jon Rahm returning to Augusta for the first time since bolting for LIV during the offseason, the growing rivalry between the fledgling league and the PGA Tour reaches a new height this weekend.
Rahm has fulfilled the promise in his first season at LIV, finishing among the top 10 in all five events to date. However, the 29-year-old Spaniard is not the only LIV player with a shot at a green jacket. Runner up a year ago, Brooks Koepka always brings his A-game to major tourneys and closely trails Rahm as a +1400 bet to claim his first green jacket despite enjoying a shaky start to the LIV season.
Cameron Smith has finished among the top 10 at Augusta four times since 2018 and sits just ahead of Koepka as an +1800 bet to win this weekend. And not to be overlooked is 2020 Masters champion Dustin Johnson, who could be poised for a resurgence at Augusta.
With so much LIV firepower among the favourites on the Masters odds, it is tough to overlook the +300 odds on the Masters props of a player from the rival claiming victory this weekend.
