Masters 2026: Schedule, Odds, and New Projections Set the Stage at Augusta National

A 10,000-run simulation is reshaping how bettors view Augusta.

Overview

  • The 90th Masters is set for April 9–12, with practice rounds starting April 6 and TV coverage split across Prime Video and ESPN on Thursday and Friday, then Paramount+ and CBS on the weekend.
  • FanDuel lists world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler as the +480 favorite, with defending champion Rory McIlroy at +1000 and Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau at +1200.
  • SportsLine’s model, built by Mike McClure, simulated the tournament 10,000 times and projects Jon Rahm to finish outside the top five.
  • The same model highlights potential value on several longshots priced at +3000 or longer, though any picks remain probabilistic and not guarantees.
  • Recent form and health loom large, with McIlroy managing lower-back discomfort after withdrawing from the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Scheffler withdrawing from the Houston Open following a dip in results.
