2026 Masters Picks & Predictions: Cameron Smith

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.

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.

2026 Masters Outlook & Predictions

At the height of his powers in 2022, Cameron Smith won the Open Championship and finished third at the Masters. His short game was probably the best in the world at the time. But since jumping to the LIV Tour shortly after hoisting the Claret Jug, Smith has struggled to recapture the magic of that 2022 season.

Smith’s 2026 form has been less than stellar, and he missed the cut at all four majors last year.

Betting Outlook: 2026 Masters Picks

At his best, Cameron Smith had a game well-suited for the challenges presented by Augusta National. But he has been nowhere near his best and doesn’t look like much of a threat this week. Pass.
