It’s Masters week, arguably the best week of the year for fans of professional golf. The Masters is a rite of spring and the unofficial start of golf season in America.
The best players in the game will take on what many regard as the best and most gorgeous golf course in the world, Augusta National. But Augusta is a treacherous beauty that challenges players with lightning-fast greens, severe elevation changes, narrow passages between trees, and scorecard-wrecking water hazards and bunkers.
Can the No. 1 player in the world, Scottie Scheffler, win his third Green Jacket in four years? Is this finally Rory McIlroy's year? Or will a young star such as Ludvig Aberg or Collin Morikawa prevail at Augusta? And let's not forget about the LIV Tour players. Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia are among the LIV players who have won The Masters before. Maybe it's Bryson DeChambeau's turn this year.
Welcome to the fourth annual BettingPros Guide to The Masters. We’re going to examine the many wagering opportunities this tournament presents, taking a closer look at the players contending for the coveted Green Jacket. Which players provide betting value and which are bad bets? Read on for our 2025 Masters predictions for Aaron Rai.

Course History
Aaron Rai is set to participate in his first Masters tournament. The Englishman has seven other Major appearances under his belt, including 19th-place finishes at the 2024 U.S. Open and the 2021 Open Championship.
Recent Form
Rai has been in fantastic form this season, highlighted by a fourth-place finish at the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld (-18) in February. The 30-year-old has notched three additional top-20 finishes across his eight total events in 2025. It's worth noting, however, that Rai missed the cut in his most recent outing at the Texas Children's Houston Open at the end of March.
Betting Outlook: 2025 Masters Predictions
Given Aaron Rai's three top-15 finishes in his last four tournaments, I see value in betting on him this weekend. I'm placing a unit on him to finish inside the top 30 (+105), and I'll also sprinkle a few bucks on a top-20 finish (+240).
Rai ranks 18th on the PGA Tour in Greens in Regulation Percentage (70.04%). A strong showing in that category should guide him toward a solid debut at Augusta.
