While Collin Morikawa hasn't played competitively since withdrawing from THE PLAYERS, his +3500 outright Masters price is far too big to pass up.

Only two players have a win on the PGA Tour this season and five consecutive Top 20s at the Masters: betting favorite Scottie Scheffler and two-time major champion Collin Morikawa.

The Masters odds have Morikawa mispriced, and he headlines my Masters picks ahead of Round 1 at Augusta National.

Collin Morikawa was the definition of dialed from tee-to-green before a back injury caused him to withdraw after a single hole at THE PLAYERS in early March, and he hasn’t teed it competitively since.

As a result, we’re landing an incredibly long number for the five-time PGA Tour winner with an elite tee-to-green game. And, as highlighted, Morikawa also knows his way around Augusta National.

The uncertainty of the back injury is overpriced into these +3500 outright golf odds, so we’re also landing excellent prices in the Top 10 (+340) and Top 20 (+145) markets. An each-way bet is another avenue to back Morikawa this week.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if Morikawa’s odds dropped across the board before Round 1 on Thursday, given this is his longest price since his Masters debut in 2020 (+4000).

  • 2026: +3500

  • 2024: +3000
  • 2023: +2500
  • 2022: +2000
  • 2021: +2000
  • 2020: +4000

Neil Parker is, first and foremost, a sports fan. A huge supporter of the Cowboys, Cubs, and Maple Leafs, he has managed to parlay his passion into writing gigs at some of the top websites in the industry.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
