Leading Top Ten Contenders at The Masters

The top players in the outright winner odds will dominate the market for a top ten finish at The Masters.

However, there could be better value outside of the top of the market in terms of a player that could be primed for a strong effort at Augusta this weekend. But, which players could feature at the top end of the leaderboard?

Joaquin Niemann (+280)

Joaquin Niemann has been one of the top players on the LIV Golf tour since 2022, and he has already won twice this season.

His best major performances have come at The Masters, finishing in the top 30 in each of the last two years. He is playing better than ever in 2025, and a first major top-ten finish could be on the cards this year.

Viktor Hovland (+280)

Viktor Hovland could be a sleeper pick in The Masters betting this year. The Norwegian has won seven events on the PGA Tour, which includes a recent success in the Valspar Championship.

He has been competitive at majors, finishing in the top ten on four previous occasions. That includes a progressive outing when taking a tie for seventh at Augusta in 2023.

Sepp Straka (+425)

Austrian star Sepp Straka has been consistent on the PGA Tour this year, and he is a three-time winner on the tour.

The 31-year-old enjoyed solid outings at The Open and PGA Championship in 2023, and he has made the cut on all three appearances at The Masters. His best finish was a tie for 16th last year. Another bold outing is likely at Augusta this year.

The Masters Top Ten Picks

Shane Lowry looks like the best chance of achieving a top ten finish at The Masters this year. The Irishman has been in excellent form so far this season, and he has finished in the top ten in two of the last three majors.

His previous best showing at Augusta came when finishing in a tie for third in 2022, and he has made the cut on his last five appearances at The Masters.
