Summary
- Rory McIlroy aims for a second consecutive Masters win.
- Scottie Scheffler leads 2026 Masters odds at +550.
- Expert Brady Kannon has a history of successful longshot picks.
The 2026 Masters, set to begin on Thursday, April 9, features Rory McIlroy aiming for a consecutive victory at Augusta National. He is among the favorites at +1100, trailing Scottie Scheffler, who holds the top odds at +550, and Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau at +1000. The tournament purse stands at $21 million for the par-72, 7,555-yard course.
Esteemed golf handicapper Brady Kannon, with over 30 years of experience and a track record of predicting major winners and PGA Tour successes, has released his 2026 Masters predictions. Kannon is fading Tyrrell Hatton, citing the Masters' unique challenges and Hatton's inconsistent performance on the LIV circuit this season.
Kannon's top outright pick is an unexpected longshot who has not secured a win in over three years but is considered a perfect course fit. This selection presents a significant potential payoff for bettors.
