The 2026 major golf season is upon us and Scottie Scheffler is, unsurprisingly, the favorite to win each one.
Scheffler’s odds to win the first major the year, The Masters, stand at +405 a week ahead of tee-off, the shortest going into the tournament of his career and the shortest since Tiger Woods in 2013 (+350), according to data from SportsOddsHistory. Scheffler started the year hot with a win and two top-four finishes but has cooled off considerably since.
After Scheffler, the tops of the majors’ odds boards are a who’s who of past major winners, with Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and Xander Schauffele most frequently occupying the top five.
For the Masters, Rahm is the only other player shorter than 10-1 (+850), while reigning champion McIlroy (10-1) and DeChambeau (+1075) are not far behind.
As far as golfers looking for their first career major wins, Ludvig Åberg (20-1), reigning Players champion Cameron Young (+2350) and Tommy Fleetwood (25-1) are all hovering around the Masters odds board.
DraftKings also features a To Win a Major special market, which Scheffler leads at an astonishing -150. McIlroy (+170), DeChambeau (+260) and Rahm (+260) are the only players shorter than +500 to achieve a major win in 2026.
