Golfers with the best odds to win the 2018 Masters

The biggest name in golf played well at the Valspar Championship in March, finishing just one shot back, and the pundits are excited. He has 79 PGA Tour wins for his career but last won a tournament in 2013. Woods hopes to claim his fifth green jacket and first since 2005.

The No. 2-ranked golfer in the world, Thomas won his first career major last year when he claimed the PGA Championship. Success at the Masters has been fleeting, finishing in 22nd place last year. The 24-year-old does already have eight PGA Tour wins in his career.

The seventh-ranked golfer in the world, McIlroy is still trying to win his first Masters after an epic collapse in 2011. A Masters win would complete a career grand slam for the 28-year-old, who has won one U.S. Open, one British Open and two PGA Championships in his career. He recently won the Arnold Palmer Invitational in mid-March, so there is even more reason to bet on him.

Currently the top-ranked golfer in the world, Johnson has yet to win a Masters and has just one major to his credit, the 2016 U.S. Open. He does have a win earlier this year, claiming the Sentry Tournament of Champions in January.

The 2015 winner of the Masters, Spieth is currently the fourth-ranked golfer in the world. The 24-year-old hasn't won a tournament on the tour since the British Open last July, however.

Watson owns two major tournament titles: the 2012 and 2014 Masters Tournaments. He already has two PGA Tour wins in 2018, winning the Genesis Open and WGC-Dell Match Play.

The fifth-ranked golfer in the world, Rose has finished second twice at the Masters, including last year. He has eight career wins on the tour, with his last win coming at the WGC-HSBC Champions Tournament in October.

Lefty is a three-time winner at the Masters, winning in 2004, 2006 and 2010. His last major win was 2013, but the 47-year-old won his first tournament in nearly five years when he won the WGC-Mexico Championship in early March.

Day's best finish at the Masters was second place in 2011. The Aussie won his first tournament in nearly two years when he claimed the Farmers Insurance Open in late January.

One of the up-and-coming names in the sport, Rahm has never finished better than 23rd in a major but shows promise with two PGA Tour and two European Tour wins since the start of 2017. He finished tied for 27th at the Masters last year.

Fowler was on fire in 2014, finishing in the top five in all four major tournaments, but he hasn't had consistency as a tournament winner on the tour. He has just four PGA Tour wins, with his last coming at the Honda Classic in early 2017.

Casey threatened at the 2016 Masters, finishing tied for fourth place. He has only two PGA Tour wins in his career, but his most recent win came over Tiger Woods and Patrick Reed at the Valspar Championship in March.

The defending winner of the green jacket, Garcia is currently the ninth-ranked golfer in the world. Of course, his Masters win was the last tournament that he won on the tour, but Garcia has 10 PGA Tour tournament wins to his name.

Matsuyama has a top six finish in every major tournament and peaked with a fifth-place finish in the 2015 Masters Tournament. He has five career PGA Tour wins, with his last coming in August at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

Noren failed to make the cut in his first Masters last year, but he's been quickly rising in the world ranks, now at No. 14. He was a runner-up in this year's Farmers Insurance Open.

Stenson has never finished better than 14th at Augusta, and his last win was the Open Championship in 2016. He ended 2017 as the ninth-ranked golfer in the world but has dropped six spots to 15 since then.

Reed hasn't won a tournament on the tour since 2016, but he enters the conversation as a candidate to win the green jacket after finishing second at Valspar in March. His best finish at Augusta was tied for 22nd in 2015.

The 27-year-old Fleetwood played his first Masters Tournament last year, failing to make the cut. However, he's really come along on the tour over the last year-plus with three PGA Tour wins and a fourth-place finish at the U.S. Open.

Kuchar has seven career PGA Tour wins to his name and finished tied for fifth at the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year. The 20th-ranked player in the world has yet to win at the Masters, though he finished tied for fourth in last year's tournament.

Oosthuizen has just one PGA Tour win to his credit, the 2010 Open Championship, but he's finished as high as second at Augusta, losing to Bubba Watson in a playoff. The South African is currently the 32nd-ranked golfer in the world.
