2026 Masters Picks & Predictions: Corey Conners

by |

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

Conners has cracked the top 10 in four of his seven Masters appearances, but he’s never finished in the top five. The Canadian has broken par in 15 of his 28 career rounds at Augusta National. Conners finished eighth last year but sat in third place only two shots behind leader Justin Rose after two rounds.

Recent Form

After a slow start in which he failed to record a top 20 in his first five events of 2026, Conners has begun to pick up the pace. In his last two tournaments, Conners finished 13th at the Players Championship and 14th at the Valspar Championship.

2026 Masters Outlook & Predictions

Conners is one of the PGA Tour’s premier ballstrikers. He ranks sixth in driving accuracy and 16th in strokes gained on approach. But a weak short game is what has kept Conners from being regarded as one of the best players in the world. Conners ranks 138th in strokes gained putting and 88th in scrambling.

Betting Outlook: 2026 Masters Picks

This is an interesting case. Conners’ precise ballstriking is a major asset at Augusta National, which requires players to hit small targets in order to create birdie opportunities. But Conners’ mediocre short game can be a hindrance on a course that makes great demands of players on and around the greens. Although Conners hasn’t been in top form this year, his solid track record at Augusta suggests that wagering on Conners to finish top 10 (including ties) at +435 or top 20 at +172 makes sense.
