Golf fans are all wondering what version of Tiger Woods will show up to Augusta National Golf Club when the 2024 Masters tees off Thursday, April 11. The 15-time major winner surprised the sports world in 2019 when he won his fifth green jacket, defeating Xander Schauffele, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka by one stroke. Although he has battled career-threatening injuries over the last few years, fans still rushed to put their Masters picks on Woods when he made the cut at Augusta last April. Woods, however, withdrew from the competition prior to the fourth round, citing plantar fasciitis as the culprit.

Woods is a 160-1 long shot in the latest 2024 Masters odds, but there are still plenty of fans out there who will want to back him with their 2024 Masters predictions as he continues to chase history. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler is the 2024 Masters favorite at 5-1. Before locking in your 2024 Masters picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure’s model predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,000.

The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm’s second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, McClure’s best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 10 majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now that the Masters 2024 field is set, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

Top 2024 Masters predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 Masters: Patrick Cantlay, a 28-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. He finished 14th at three-under-par at last year’s Masters and is continuing to make strides to win his first major.

The 31-year-old has made the cut in his six starts this season, with his best showing occurring at the Genesis Invitational, where he finished fourth. He has also finished in the top 15 in the last five major events he has participated in. Cantlay finished last season ranked third in total strokes gained (1.869) and fourth in strokes gained off the tee (0.852), and could be near the top of the 2024 Masters leaderboard if that aspect of his game comes into form before April 11.

The model has also examined where Tiger finishes. Woods is 48 and surgeries on his neck, back and legs have clearly taken their toll. However, he defied all odds during his win at the 2019 Masters after having spinal fusion surgery and his course navigation and ball-striking that shined that week.

Woods hit 80.6% of greens in regulation on his way to a 15th major championship victory and will try to tap back into his iron play and course knowledge in 2023. However, Woods has only played seven tournaments with world ranking points assigned over the last two years and has fallen all the way to No. 921. The model just locked in its Tiger Woods Masters picks here.

How to make 2024 Masters picks

The model is also targeting six golfers with Masters odds of 20-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s PGA picks here.
