The Masters is the most iconic tournament in golf — the only major played at the same course every year, Augusta National in Georgia, with its azaleas, green jacket and Amen Corner. The 2027 edition runs from 8 to 11 April.

Rory McIlroy arrives chasing history: after completing the career Grand Slam with his emotional 2025 win and then repeating in 2026, he can become the first player ever to win three Masters in a row.

How to bet on The Masters

The Masters rewards course knowledge more than any other major — Augusta's greens and the demands of Amen Corner mean previous form at the course is one of the strongest betting signals. Outright and each-way markets typically pay enhanced places.

Top-5, top-10 and top-20 finish markets suit backing in-form players without needing the win, while first-round leader is a popular Thursday market. The small, elite invitational field makes correct reading of recent form especially valuable.

Golf is high-variance and even Augusta specialists miss cuts, so treat outrights as long shots and bet within a budget. With McIlroy chasing a historic three-peat, the 2027 markets will carry plenty of sentiment — judge the form, not the story.
