Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is the 13-2 betting favorite in the latest 2023 Masters odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Other top contenders in the 2023 Masters field include Rory McIlroy (15-2), Jon Rahm (8-1), Cameron Smith (14-1), Jordan Spieth (14-1), Justin Thomas (15-1), Will Zalatoris (16-1), Collin Morikawa (16-1), and Max Homa (16-1).

We simulated the 2023 Masters 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises. Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been RED-HOT since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up over $8,600 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model predicted Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. The model also included J.T. Poston in its best bets to win the 2022 John Deere Classic. That bet hit at +5500, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned almost $1,100. At the 2022 Masters, McClure's model was all over Scheffler's first career major championship victory heading into the weekend.

In addition, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 longshot. The model was also all over Rahm's (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner.

This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!

Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2023 Masters field and just revealed his top PGA prop bets. You can only see McClure's 2023 Masters prop picks, sleepers, head-to-head matchups, best bets, and his top one and done pick by joining SportsLine today.

Top 2023 Masters prop picks

One of McClure's favorite prop bet picks this week at the Masters 2023 is two-time major champion Collin Morikawa to finish in the top-10 at +225 odds (risk $100 to win $225). Morikawa, a five-time PGA Tour winner, has been inconsistent in 2023 by his standards, but still has four top-15 finishes in seven starts. After a strong performance at the Players Championship, McClure believes he is primed to bounce back and contend this week at Augusta National Golf Club. 

Morikawa is arguably the best iron player in the world today and ranks high in several key metrics. He ranks second on the PGA Tour in strokes gained on approach (1.095), third in driving accuracy (70.1%), fourth in strokes gained tee-to-green (1.725), and ninth in total strokes gained (1.622). In what is arguably the strongest field of the year, McClure sees huge value in taking Morikawa to finish in the top-10. Join SportsLine now to see the rest of McClure's 2023 Masters prop bet picks.
