Schauffele is the most popular bet heading into the 2020 Masters. The 27-year-old remains in search of his first PGA Tour major win, but he has finished in the top 10 of six of the last 10 majors, including a T-2 at the 2019 Masters.

DeChambeau and Johnson have drawn in the bulk of the money being bet on the outright Masters winner. The two combine for 27.57% of all money wagered on the tournament winner. They’re the top two betting favorites with DeChambeau coming off victory at the 2020 US Open and Johnson winning the 2019-20 FedEx Cup.

Tiger remains a public favorite while receiving the second-largest share of bet tickets in his attempt for back-to-back green jackets.

Notable names not listed here: Jordan Spieth has drawn 1.67% of bet tickets but just 0.64% of the tournament outright handle. Phil Mickelson is on 1.26% of tickets and is getting 0.29% of the handle. Kevin Kisner is on just just 1.17% of outright tickets but is pulling in 3.10% of the handle at +17500 odds.
