NextImg:BetMGM bonus code POSTBET for the Masters: Our favorite prop bets for Augusta National

The Masters is a gambling event unlike any other, and sportsbooks go above and beyond to get creative with the betting menu at Augusta National.

Whether you’re looking to build a make-the-cut parlay, bet somebody to make a hole-in-one or back a player to be the top debutant, there are hundreds of ways to get some skin in the game this week.

Below are a few of our favorite prop bets for the 2025 Masters.

Looking to back any of these props?

Use BetMGM bonus code POSTBET to get your first bet back in bonus bets if your first bet doesn’t win, up to $1,500.

Top Debutant: Davis Riley (18/1)

Davis Riley struggled to get going in 2025, but the Mississippi native has found his rhythm of late.

Riley has two top-10 finishes in his last four starts and has made five straight cuts. 

A two-time winner on the PGA Tour, Riley can crush the ball off the tee. If he gets the rest of his game in line, he can get white hot in a hurry.

Maverick McNealy is the favorite in this market, but I would urge caution about going to the top of the board in a market like this.

There are exceptions to every rule, but debutants tend to struggle taming Augusta National, so you may as well go price-hunting and try to get lucky.

Top English Player: Aaron Rai (+600)

Aaron Rai is on debut, but his game should suit Augusta National.

The native of Wolverhampton is one of the most accurate players on tour, ranking fifth in driving accuracy and 32nd in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green on the PGA Tour this season.

This market will be competitive with Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton and Justin Rose, but Rai’s game is solid enough that he should be able to contend with this group.

Top LIV Player: Sergio Garcia (12/1)

A former winner at Augusta National in terrific form – albeit on LIV – Sergio Garcia ticks a lot of boxes for a potential long-shot winner at the Masters.

Garcia won LIV Hong Kong in the beginning of March, and he is coming off a T3 at LIV Miami last weekend.

If he was putting up those results on the PGA Tour, he would be very trendy at Augusta, but nobody is too keen on betting the defectors.

Bettors may be concerned that Garcia has missed five cuts in his last six trips to Augusta, but he’s a past winner here and will be playing this event for the 26th time.

That kind of experience is worth its weight in gold on this unique track.
