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
Fleetwood will be making his 10th Masters appearance. He has five top-25 finishes but only one top 10. Fleetwood has never seriously contended. His best finish was a third in 2024, when a final-round 69 propelled him up the leaderboard but still left him seven shots behind winner Scottie Scheffler. Fleetwood’s career scoring averrage at Augusta is 72.00
Recent Form
Fleetwood has posted top-10 finishes in three of his last four events. His last tournament was the Players Championship, where he finished eighth

2026 Masters Outlook & Predictions
The steady Fleetwood is a solid ballstriker with a deft touch around the green. But he hasn’t putted well this season. He ranks 124th in strokes gained putting — a stat that doesn’t bode well for success at Augusta National. The other problem for Fleetwood at Augusta is power, or lack thereof. While he’s extremely accurate off the tee — they don’t call him “Fairway Jesus” for nothing — Fleetwood ranks 121st in driving distance.
Betting Outlook: 2026 Masters Picks
Although he often finds himself in the hunt in big events, Fleetwood has had a hard time closing. So at odds of 25-1 to win this week, I’m very much out. His odds for a top 10 or top 20 are slightly more appealing, but since Fleetwood hasn’t made a lot of noise at The Masters over the years, and since his game isn’t an especially good fot for Augusta, I’m going to fade Fleetwood entirely.
