Sky Bet Masters 2026 preview: Assessing Sky Bet's favourites ahead of Augusta
At the time of writing, Scheffler is the best-backed to declare the Green Jacket, with the American priced at 5/1.
If Scheffler were to victory, he would sign up with an elite group of three-time Masters champs, ending up being just the 6th gamer in history to achieve the task.
He would stand alongside Jimmy Demaret, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Nick Faldo and Phil Mickelson.
That said, Scheffler will need to overcome an uncharacteristic dip in form if he is to secure a 3rd Masters title, with the world No. 1 winless in his last 5 competitions.
Meanwhile, protecting champ Rory McIlroy is priced as the 12/1 2nd favourite as he targets back-to-back titles at Augusta and a sixth major crown (Price Boosted from 10/1).
Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm are joint 3rd favourites at 12/1, while Xander Schauffele and Ludvig Aberg sit simply behind at 18/1.
As for Tiger Woods, those wishing for a fairy tale return will discover him a distant outsider at 350/1.
