Former Masters Tournament winner and the world's No. 1-ranked player Scottie Scheffler takes aim at his third green jacket this week when he takes part in the 2026 Masters from Augusta National Golf Club. Scheffler, who won in both 2022 and 2024, is the favorite at +500. He is seeking his 26th career win and fifth win at a major. Other top Masters contenders include Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau at +1000 and Rory McIlroy at +1300.

The Masters 2026 will be the 90th time the event will have been held and has a $21 million purse. Augusta National Golf Club features a par-72, 7,555-yard course. Besides Scheffler and Rahm, other past winners competing include Patrick Reed (+4000) and Hideki Matsuyama (+2700). Notable champions electing not to compete this year are Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, both due to personal reasons. Before making any 2026 Masters picks, you need to see the 2026 Masters predictions from golf expert Brady Kannon. 

Kannon is an elite golfing betting expert with more than 30 years of experience in the industry. He has called eight major winners since 2013 and hit six PGA winners, including 110-1 longshot Harris English at the Farmers Insurance Open, in 2025. He also hit on Matt Fitzpatrick (15-1) at the Valspar Championship on March 22 for an outright winner. Additionally, he's 32-27-4 on head-to-head picks since joining SportsLine.

Now, Kannon has focused his attention on the 2026 Masters field and locked in his predictions, sleepers and golfers to avoid. You can only see them here. 

Top 2026 Masters expert picks

One of Kannon's 2026 Masters predictions: Kannon is fading Tyrrell Hatton and is avoiding him in both outright and head-to-head selections. Hatton, 34, has had limited success, competing on the PGA Tour, Challenge Tour, European Tour and LIV Golf. He currently splits his time between the European Tour and LIV. He has 13 career wins, including eight on the European Tour.

Hatton will be competing in his 10th Masters. His best finish at Augusta came in 2024, when he tied for ninth. He has missed the cut twice and has just two other top-20 finishes, tying for 14th last year and 18th in 2021. Despite some success, Kannon doesn't feel the value is there and is turning his attention toward better options. 

"He's missed the cut here twice," Kannon told SportsLine. "I just don't believe he has the game that is best suited for this golf course and I'm also not sure he has the temperament to handle getting across the finish line on a Sunday at the biggest pressure cooker in golf." See who Kannon is backing at SportsLine.

How to make 2026 Masters picks

Kannon has revealed his best bets, and he's targeting several longshots, including one who returns more than 80-1 and "has a legitimate shot to make quite a bit of noise this week." He's a perfect course fit, and anyone who backs him could hit it big. You can only see who it is at SportsLine.
