“Will the Masters’ Crown Shift? Scheffler, Rory, and Rahm Battle for Supremacy in Unexpected 2025 Betting Odds!”

The anticipation is electric as we gear up for golf’s most prestigious challenge: the first major of the season, The Masters 2025. Last year’s narrative was captivating, with Jon Rahm making headlines as he teetered on the edge of LIV and PGA loyalties at Augusta National. This time around, the chatter buzzes around Rory McIlroy, whose quest for the elusive career grand slam adds a layer of intrigue that rivals the azaleas themselves. Can he finally slip on that coveted green jacket? With three notable victories already this year, McIlroy is riding a wave of confidence as he steps onto the hallowed grounds of Augusta. Yet, the reigning champion, Scottie Scheffler, is trying to shake off the rust after a hand injury—making this dynamic trio of Scottie, Rory, and Rahm the betting favorites once again. So, grab your clubs and prepare for a showdown that could rewrite the history books—this is one tournament you won’t want to miss! LEARN MORE.

The PGA TOUR season peaks with its first major: The Masters 2025. Last year, the biggest story entering The Masters was recent LIV Tour defector Jon Rahm playing against his former PGA TOUR colleagues for the first time at the Augusta National Golf Club. This year, people are discussing whether Rory McIlroy can complete the career grand slam and win his first Masters. 

McIlroy is the best golfer in the world entering The Masters. He has three big-boy wins in his seven starts: 2024 DP World Tour Championship in November, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (“signature event”) in his first PGA TOUR start this year, and THE PLAYERS Championship last month. 

Unlike last season, when Scottie Scheffler had two wins under his belt going into Augusta, the reigning Masters champion has looked mortal since making his 2025 debut after missing the first two months of the year with a hand injury. Like in the good ole days, before Rahm bolted for the LIV Tour, Scottie, Rory, and Rahm are the three betting favorites to win the green jacket.
