All eyes will turn to Augusta National Golf Club when the 2024 Masters gets underway.
Before the action kicks off, we wanted to take a look at the odds sheet and see if we could find a few value picks that should be on your card − and we have five of them for you.
World No. 1 and 2022 Masters winner Scottie Scheffler is the heavy betting favorite at +400 thanks to back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship − the first to ever defend a Players title. He’s joined in the field by defending champion Jon Rahm − making his first major championship start since joining LIV golf − as well as four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, five-time major winner Brooks Kopeka and 2015 winner Jordan Spieth, among others.
Before we give our final picks to win next week − make sure to check that out − let’s take a look at five value picks for the Masters.

Before you yell at me “18/1, he’s one of the betting favorites, how could that be a value pick?”
It’s Brooks Koepka at a major championship. How is he not 12/1 or even 10/1?
Koepka missed the cut at Augusta in 2022 and 2021, but he was hurt. Toss those finishes aside. They don’t matter. His other six Masters finishes: T-2 (2023), T-7 (2020), T-2 (2019), T-11 (2017), T-21 (2016) and T-33 (2015).
At majors in 2023: T-2, 1st, T-17 and T-64.
Koepka should be on your card.
