Masters 2025 Odds: Which TWO players in the field hit our Top 10 betting trends?

There can be numerous trends that can be applied to the four majors in the golf season but with The Masters being played on the same venue every single year means that we have some reliable pointers as to who could contend each year. 

Of course it's never as easy as whittling down the field via these avenues but it did point us towards Tommy Fleetwood last year who finished in a tie for 3rd place. 

This year we shall spread the net a little wider, marking players against 10 trends in order of importance. The method is simple – if you don’t meet a trend you’re eliminated, if you hit the trend you stay in.

We’ll list out the players that remain in at every stage, right down to the TWO players who hit every trend in our quest to find the 2025 Masters winner.

At the bottom, you can see it in table form, showing which players stay in for the longest. The longer the green line goes on, the stronger their chances of slipping on that green jacket on Sunday 13th April.

These for me look the strongest pointers as to who could go well at this year’s Masters. For the golf ranking trend I will use Data Golf's current world rankings which is a lot more reliable than the current official system. 

For any LIV golfers if their driving distance yardages for the season would be enough to get inside the top 50 on the PGA Tour I shall give them a pass for that trend.

Trend 10 - 24 of the last 27 winners finished 38th or better in the year before winning

1. McIlroy, Rory
2. DeChambeau, Bryson

So, there you have it/ Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy stand out from the pack when it comes to the trends and either are capable of slipping on the green jacket in a few weeks. 

DeChambeau threatened for a long way last year but ultimately it was the work around the greens that made it a tall order for him over the weekend. 

That is what worries me about Bryson around here that his very rigid action around the greens here will result in untimely dropped shots. He will no doubt contend a handful more of these Masters but whether he will have the game good enough to win one is another matter. 

All roads lead to the Irishman and a green blazer on his back will go down as one of the most special historical images in the sport. If trends are your way to finding the winner of the Masters Rory McIlroy is the first and last place to start. 

Rors - it's about time!
