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 Denny McCarthy.

Course History
The Masters are known for not being kind to the Debutants, and that was the case for Denny McCarthy, who finished t-45th in his debut. The trend was that he would start well but falter later. That happened in all four rounds as he shot under par on the front nine in all four days and over par on the back nine. He also double-boogied in the last three holes on three of those days.
Recent Form
This year has been great for McCarthy. In the nine tournaments he's competed in, he has top-20 finishes in six, including a top-five finish at The Genesis Invitational. That's already more than he had last year.
Betting Outlook: 2025 Masters Predictions
McCarthy is a massive underdog, but don't count him out. His short game is excellent, and he's one of the best putters on the Tour. The huge improvement that will make the difference is his approach to the green, going from -0.017 (111th) on approaches to the green last year to 0.317 (47th) this year. That could help him be in the hunt on Sunday.
