The Masters returns to Augusta National on April 9-12, 2026 as excitement builds for the first major of the year - and the one that every golfer wants to win.

Scottie Scheffler currently heads the betting to win a third Green Jacket, but last year's winner Rory McIlroy is in the running again, with Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm among the other contenders to taste success.

Check out our in-depth preview for the Masters 2026, including odds, favourites, tips and predictions. You can also see the schedule and key info for every major in 2026 so you can stay on top of all the action.

While last year's Masters was all about McIlroy as he completed the career Grand Slam in memorable style, he is edged out by world No1 Scheffler when it comes to the betting market for 2026.

The American took home two major titles last year and is gunning for a third Green Jacket this year, which would make him just the ninth golfer to achieve the feat and put the 29-year-old half-way towards Jack Nicklaus' record of six.

Scheffler is the firm favourite at 9/2, some way ahead of chasing duo McIlroy and DeChambeau at 10/1, with 2023 winner Rahm the next in line at 12/1.

DeChambeau is the only member of the top-four favourites yet to win the Masters, with his closest effort coming last year when he went neck-and-neck with McIlroy for much of the weekend before falling away on the final day.

A player like Collin Morikawa stands out as a strong outsider at 30/1 given how well his elite iron play suits Augusta, and if he can get anything going with the putter he has all the tools needed to win a Green Jacket.

At this price point, Brooks Koepka (33/1) is hard to ignore, with a proven track record of raising his level in majors and the ability to contend whenever he gets into the mix late on.

Few players boast a better record at Augusta than Jordan Spieth, also 33/1, which makes him a constant threat here regardless of the form he brings into the week.

As for Tommy Fleetwood, he looks one of the most solid each-way options in the field at 22/1, with the consistency and temperament to stay competitive across all four rounds.
