- Scottie Scheffler headlines the 2026 Masters odds at +550, with Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau tied at +1000 and defending champion Rory McIlroy at +1300, while Xander Schauffele sits at +1500 and Ludvig Aberg at +1700.
- Scheffler is chasing his third green jacket in four years, and together with DeChambeau are the only two golfers to finish inside the top 10 at the end of each round in each of the past two Masters.
- DeChambeau won a pair of tournaments last month and played with McIlroy in the final Sunday pairing of the 2025 Masters, which McIlroy won to complete the career Grand Slam.
- Mike McClure's proprietary model has simulated every PGA Tour event 10,000 times and has nailed 16 majors entering the weekend, including four straight Masters, the 2025 PGA Championship, and the 2025 Open Championship.
- Schauffele is McClure's top One and Done pick, with five top-10 Masters finishes in his last seven starts (tied for the most in that stretch), a solo third at the Players Championship, and a T4 at the Valspar Championship already this season.
- Schauffele also won both the 2024 PGA Championship and Open Championship and has finished inside the top 15 in each of his nine U.S. Open starts, giving him both a high ceiling and floor for One and Done formats.
- McClure's second highlighted pick is a golfer with odds longer than +2000 who is 'heating up this season' and has a 'championship pedigree,' with his full identity locked behind the SportsLine paywall.
Why it matters: For One and Done pool players, the strategic question is whether to burn a pick on short-priced favorites like Scheffler or DeChambeau, or take a calculated swing on Schauffele (+1500) who offers top-10 Masters consistency plus recent form (T3 at Players, T4 at Valspar). With golfers usable only once per season, nailing the Masters multiplier is critical — and Schauffele's track record of five top-10s in seven Augusta starts gives him a uniquely high floor at mid-range odds.
