The first round of the 2025 Masters is just one day away. The first group – Davis Riley and Patton Kizzire – will tee off at 7:40 am ET on Thursday, with the last group slated – Sahith Theegala, Sepp Straka, Sam Burns – slated for a 1:45 pm start. The public has, as usual, been treating the Masters like the Super Bowl of golf, betting more on this tournament than any other over the course of the season.
The public’s favorite bets this year include Rory McIlroy, who only needs the Masters to complete the career grand slam, and Bryson Dechambeau. Below, find the Masters public-betting splits for the outright winner, first-round leader, and make/miss the cut betting markets.

Rory McIlroy, who has captured the outright victory in two of his first five PGA tournaments this season, is the most-wagered-on golfer both in terms of handle percentage (14%) and bet percentage (10%). Rory enters the tournament as the second-favorite in the Masters odds at +650, only trailing world #1 Scottie Scheffler (+400).
Collin Morikawa, last year’s third-place finisher behind Scheffler and Ludvig Åberg, has the second-highest handle percentage in the outright Masters winner splits, getting 11% of money bet to date.
Scheffler, the defending champion and 2022 winner, is only getting the fourth-most money to win the 2025 edition.
Masters First-Round Leader Betting Splits
The first-round leader splits see Bryson DeChambeau at the top. Can you say recency bias? DeChambeau led after the first round last year, carding a -7 to hold a one-shot lead over Scheffler after 18 holes.
In 2023, there was a three-way tie for first after 18 holes between Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, and Viktor Hovland (all -7). In 2022, Sungjae Im was the sole leader after the first round at -5.
Masters 2025 Make the Cut Betting Splits
The Masters splits for the make-the-cut markets show Cameron Young getting the most money (and DeChambeau getting the most tickets). Young has had an ugly start to the year, making five cuts and missing just as many. But he’s had recent success at Augusta; he finished T9 last year and T7 the year prior. He missed the cut in his first appearance back in 2022.
