Top Picks for the 2026 Masters Champion
Favorite Pick: Ludvig Aberg (+2000)
Ludvig Aberg is competing in The Masters for the third time. The skilled Swede made a splash at Augusta National in his 2024 debut, finishing as runner-up.
Last year, Aberg was tied for the lead with McIlroy and Justin Rose late in Sunday’s final round. Regrettably, he bogeyed the 17th hole and suffered a triple bogey on the 8th, dropping to seventh place by the end.
The question isn’t whether Aberg will win The Masters, but when and how many times. We’re optimistic about his chances this year, given his tied-for-third finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and tied-for-fifth at The Players Championship.
Sleeper Pick: Russell Henley (+4200)
Russell Henley is still chasing his first major title, but he’s on the cusp of a breakthrough. The Georgia native finished tied for fourth at the 2023 Masters—his best result in a major tournament to date.
He also notched a solo fifth-place finish at the 2024 Open Championship and a tied-for-seventh at the US Open that same year.
Henley earned his fifth PGA Tour win at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational earlier this year. If he finds himself in contention again on Sunday, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him wearing a green jacket.
Longshot Pick: Adam Scott (+6200)
Do you remember Justin Rose at Augusta National last year? Only McIlroy’s inspired playoff performance kept him from claiming the green jacket.
Adam Scott could be this year’s version of Rose—he won The Masters in 2013 and was runner-up in 2011. At 45, both players are still playing some of the best golf of their careers.
Scott is making his 25th career start at The Masters, with five top-10 finishes at Augusta National under his belt. With his long drives and deft touch on the greens, Scott has the game to win here again. His recent form includes a fourth-place finish at Riviera and a tied-for-11th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
