Heading into the final round of the Masters on Sunday, Justin Rose is the betting favorite to win his first green jacket. Rose is tied for the lead with Sergio Garcia at 6 strokes under par for the championship. They have a one-shot lead over Rickie Fowler and a two-shot lead over Jordan Spieth, Ryan Moore, and Charley Hoffman.

Bettors give Rose 5/2 odds to win the tournament, according to GolfOdds.com. Rose has one major title to his name, that being the 2013 U.S. Open. They’re a lot less confident in Garcia, whose odds are 9/2. That’s probably because Garcia has been to the altar and fallen short so many times before. No player in the sport has been as good for as long as Garcia and not won a major, but he’s still looking for his first.
Spieth has 3/1 odds, despite starting the the day two shots behind Garcia and Rose. He’s playing in his fourth Masters and has never finished worse than second on the leaderboard. Spieth won the green jacket in 2015 and was in serious contention in the years before and after that. There’s good reason for bettors to be confident in his abilities, even after his collapse on Sunday last year.
He’ll be paired with Fowler, who finished top-five in every major in 2014 but hasn’t won one or seriously competed in two years. Fowler’s odds are 4/1. The Spieth-Fowler pair will be one of the most closely watched twosomes on a Sunday at a major championship in recent times. Here’s to it being the first of many such matches.
Adam Scott and Ryan Moore both have 15/1 odds. Scott is a green jacket winner from 2013, and he’s finished in the top five at least once in every leg of the career grand slam. Charley Hoffman has 25/1 odds after leading for much of the first three days.
A full leaderboard is here. The individual players given the lowest odds to win are Soren Kjeldsen Phil Mickelson at 300/1. After them, the rest of the field collectively faces 50/1 odds. Below is the entire list, again via GolfOdds.com:
