The golfer with the most titles won is Jack Nicklaus, who has six victories.
Augusta National Golf Club
Augusta National Golf Club, located in Augusta, Georgia, is one of the most iconic golf courses in the world. It was designed in 1933 by golf legend Bobby Jones and celebrated course architect Alister MacKenzie. Since then, it has hosted the Masters yearly except during World War II.
The course is known for its complex layout, with narrow fairways, undulating greens, and strategically placed bunkers. In addition, it is worth noting that the specific characteristics of this course are that it is a Par 72 and has a distance of 6,799 meters (7,435 yards).
Great expectations
The 2023 Masters Tournament will be an amazing event. It will feature the world’s best golfers, including defending champion Scottie Scheffler, who beat Rory McIlroy by three strokes. Other top players expected to compete include Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, and Rory McIlroy.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Masters is the traditions that accompany it. From the green jacket ceremony to ceremonial tee shots by game legends, the Masters is steeped in tradition. The Par 3 Contest, held on the Wednesday before the tournament, is another beloved tradition that allows players to have a little fun before the competition begins.
Betting favorites
More than 100 of the best golfers on the planet will participate in this prestigious event. There will be 17 invited LIV golfers, including top PGA Tour and LIV Golf players such as Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson, and Phil Mickelson.
Odds to win the 2023 Master outright betting favorites
Rory McIlroy +710: The only major championship McIlroy has never won is the Masters. He had come close numerous times, including when he finished second the year before, so winning is certainly a matter of time.
Scottie Scheffler +710: He is perhaps the most reliable golfer on the PGA Tour and won the Masters last year. He is usually a threat in major competitions.
Jon Rahm +920: Won the US Open in 2021, the first major tournament he has won in his entire career. Although he has never won the Masters, he has finished in the top 10 four times. Rahm deserves to be the favorite because he has already won three events this year.
Jordan Spieth +1625: The 2015 Masters champion seemed destined to dominate play, but the American hasn’t had a win in a major since 2017. Spieth seems to have regained his best form after some setbacks in recent years. He won the Masters in 2015 and has three Grand Slam titles.
Justin Thomas +2000: It is striking that the two-time PGA Championship champion has never performed better at the Masters. Although he has only finished in the top five at Augusta, he can compete in any major. Because of this, he is among the top 10 favorites despite not being in the top spots.
Cameron Smith +2200: Plays ideally suited to succeed at Augusta. Smith has the best chance of all LIV players to win the Masters. He excels at winning major competitions because he won the Open Championship the year before.
Collin Morikawa + 2500: Morikawa, only 26 years old, has already won the PGA Championship and the Open Championship, among other major championships. If he were to win the Masters, it would be no surprise.
