Popular Types of Golf Bet Explained

Outright Winner and Each-Way

The most common and simple way of betting on the Masters and golf majors. Here you are picking a player to win the tournament outright. With each-way bets your stake would be doubled as you are really having two bets: One on the player to win the tournament outright and one on them to finish in the places at 1/5 of the total odds.

To Make/Miss the Cut

After Friday, there is a cut where only the top 50 players progress to Saturday’s rounds. A popular betting market is around whether players will make or miss this cut, the tournament favourites are usually unattractive prices to make the cut but there can be value in some longshots making it through, but who might not stand a chance of winning.

Hole in One

One of the simplest but most fun markets to track! Simply answer if you think there will be a Hold in One made during the tournament.

Winning Nationality

Here you are trying to guess which nationality will win the tournament. American golfers have typically dominated this market, in no small part thanks to players like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, but international players have had their share of success at Augusta too.

When is the Masters?

The Masters is held in the first full week of April and is the first of the four men’s golf majors. The 2025 Golf Masters is taking place from Monday 7th April until Sunday 13th April.

The Masters 2025 Golf Schedule

The Masters Tournament takes place over a whole week, with practice rounds and the popular Par 3 Contest earlier in the week before the competitive part of the tournament begins in the second half of the week. Here is a typical schedule for the Masters:

Monday/Tuesday – Practice Rounds

Players are able to play the course and work on areas of their game. It is a much more relaxed environment and gives the pros a first chance to tackle any changes to the course.

Wednesday – Par 3 Contest

The Par 3 contest at the Masters is a fun, casual event played on a separate course to the official tournament. Players will often have friends, family members or their children caddy for them – the par 3 gives players a chance to relax before the intesity of the Masters truly.

The Par 3 Contest has gained a bad reputation among players, with some considering it cursed, as no player has won the Par 3 Contest and the Masters in the same year.

Thursday – Tournament Day 1

The Masters gets underway early on Thursday morning with an honorary tee-off by legends of the game. 2024 saw Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player tee off to start the tournament. Every player will play a full round of golf on the first day.

Friday – Tournament Day 2

The Masters is now in full swing and every golfer plays their second round of golf to try achieve a score low enough to progress to the next round. Scores from the first round of golf are carried into Friday's session. At the end of Day 2, only the top 50 players progress to the final part of the tournament on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday – Tournament Day 3

With only the top 50 golfers now playing, the day starts slightly later with the tee times decided by reverse order of their scores on the opening two days. Scores from day 1 and 2 are still carried over, meaning those further down the table have a difficult task competing for the win.

Sunday – Tournament Final Day

Despite every golfer that progressed to Saturday still playing, it is usually a bit clearer who has a chance of winning. The scores from Saturday are carried on to Sunday's golf and the leaders will tee off last. 

How Long is the Masters?

The Masters takes place from Monday to Sunday, with the competitive rounds of the golf tournament taking place from Thursday to Sunday.
