In fact, legal sportsbooks in the following eight states are all offering lines on golf’s biggest event this year:
US Masters golf betting – The #1 tricks. The US Masters, or simply The Masters, is the first major championship tournament in professional golf held every year. It takes place every year at the beautiful Augusta National Golf Club in the first full week of April. This year, the US Masters 2021 will be held from Monday, April 5 through Sunday. It’s easily the most heavily bet-on golf tournament of the year,” said Jay Rood, VP of Race and Sports for MGM Resorts International. With betting open year-round, the total amount of money wagered on the Masters in Las Vegas will be about twice as much as the British Open.

Online and mobile sports betting is coming soon in most of these states. However, it’s already available in both Nevada and New Jersey, allowing you to bet on the Masters from the privacy of your home or hotel room in either state.
Sports betting on the 2019 Masters outright
The easiest way to bet on the Masters is to pick the golfer you think will win it all and put some money on it.
Legal US sportsbooks all offer positive (+) moneyline odds on every golfer in the 2019 Masters field ahead of Thursday’s tee-off. Positive moneyline odds represent how much you stand to win for each $100 you bet on that particular golfer.
The bigger the number, the more you can win if that golfer can become the 2019 Masters champion.
Sportsbooks will adjust these odds as the tournament progresses. Obviously, the odds on the first and second rounds leaders will go down.
You may even find some negative (-) moneylineodds heading into Sunday’s final round. Negative moneyline odds represent how much you’ll have to lay on a golfer to win $100 plus your bet back.
Expect to see US sportsbooks post a negative moneyline number on any golfer that can build a big lead on the field heading into Sunday’s final round at Augusta National.
Here’s a look at the moneyline odds for the Top 5 golfers to win the 2019 Masters at the top three NJ online and mobile sportsbooks as of April 9:
| To Win the 2019 Masters | At DraftKings SportsBook | At FanDuel Sportsbook | At BetStars NJ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rory McIllroy | +700 | +650 | +750 |

| Tiger Woods | +1400 | +1600 | +10000 |
| Jon Rahm | +1400 | +2000 | +1800 |
Other tournament and golfer specific Masters lines
Of course, you can also bet on a variety of other tournament and golfer specific Masters’ lines at legal US sportsbooks. Depending on the sportsbook, these might include things like:
- A particular golfer’s final finishing position
- Who will lead after the first, second and third rounds
- Various group and head-to-head scoring matchups
- Various golfer props
Betting on Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters
After a couple of years off, golf’s most popular player returned to the Masters in 2018. Four-time Masters’ champion Tiger Woods will compete again in 2019. That means most legal US sportsbooks will offer more props on Woods than any other golfer in the field.
Don’t be surprised to find a line on everything from Woods’ first shot off the first tee landing in the fairway to Woods playing in Sunday’s final grouping.

Picking the outright winner of the 2019 Masters before the tournament tees off might seem like an impossible task. Therefore, you may want to take the watch-, wait-and-see approach through the first round or two.
