2026 Masters Picks & Predictions: Bryson DeChambeau

The best golfers in the world will be in Augusta, Georgia, this week for the first major of the year, The Masters. We’re going to share our top 2026 Masters picks and predictions.

Augusta National Golf Club is simultaneously a feast for the eyes and a stern test of golfing acumen. The Georgia pines and blooming azaleas highlight Augusta's beauty, but this world-renowned course demands precise ballstriking and short-game excellence.

Rory McIlroy had an epic victory at last year's Masters to earn his first Green Jacket. Can he successfully defend his title, or will the No. 1 player in the world, Scottie Scheffler, win at Augusta for the third time in five years? PGA Tour stars Ludvig Aberg and Xander Schauffele are looking for a career-altering victory, and big-hitting LIV Tour stalwarts Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau will be in the hunt.

Welcome to the fifth annual BettingPros Guide to The Masters. We'll take a deep dive into the field, taking a closer look at the players contending for the coveted Green Jacket. Which players provide betting value and which are bad bets? Read on.

Course History

Is Bryson finally figuring out Augusta National? He failed to crack the top 20 in his first seven appearances, despite his infamous remark in a 2020 interview that Augusta would be like a par-67 to him because of his ability to hit all the par-5s in two shots. DeChambeau reached his Masters nadir when he missed the cut in 2022 and 2023. But an opening-round 65 helped DeChambeau finish sixth in 2024, and he was paired with Rory McIlroy in Sunday’s final twosome last year, with a disappointing final-round 75 dropping him into a tie for fifth. Bryson’s length off the tee certainly gives him an advantage on the par-5s, and he finally seems to be grasping some of the nuances of scoring well at Augusta National.

Recent Form

DeChambeau is coming in on a heater. He won each of the last two LIV Tour events, beating Richard T. Lee in a playoff to win LIV Golf Singapore in mid-March, then beating Jon Rahm in a playoff the following week to win LIV Golf South Africa.

2026 Masters Outlook & Predictions

Can DeChambeau finally conquer Augusta National? For years it seemed as if his game was ill-suited for the course, but his play the last two years suggests otherwise. Having hoisted trophies in his last two LIV Tour events, DeChambeau will be brimming with confidence when he makes the drive up Magnolia Lane this week.

Betting Outlook: 2026 Masters Picks

Is DeChambeau capable of winning this week? Absolutely. But DeChambeau’s fame has shortened his Masters odds to the point where there simply isn’t much betting value here — particularly when you consider Bryson’s past struggles at Augusta. Pass.
