Tiger Woods and 8 others with the best odds to win the Masters by Tyler Lauletta on Apr 2, 2018, 3:20 PM Advertisement
 This Thursday, golf fans around the world will turn their attention to Augusta National for the first men's major of the year, the Masters. It is, as Jim Nantz has so often put it, "A tradition unlike any other," filled with incredible views and even more spectacular golf. This year's tournament has an added bit of intrigue with the recent play of Tiger Woods, who is back in the Masters' field after missing the previous two years — and ticket prices have been rising in anticipation of his comeback. But while Woods will no doubt be the fan-favorite to win coming into the weekend, oddsmakers in Las Vegas have put him amongst eight others as the favorites to take home the green jacket. Take a look below and see who Las Vegas believes has the best chance to win at the Masters this weekend. All lines are courtesy of Jeff Sherman and the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook. Jordan Spieth  Current odds: 10/1 World ranking: No. 4 Best Masters finish: Win — 2015 One thing to know: Spieth hasn't gotten off to a great start this year, but just finished tied for third at the Houston Open and is in better form of late. He's already proven he can win at Augusta, but will still be looking to shake off the memories of 2016, when he put two balls in the water on the 12th and eventually came in second after holding a 5-stroke lead on Sunday.
Dustin Johnson  Current odds: 10/1 World ranking: No. 1 Best Masters finish: T4 — 2016 One thing to know: Dustin Johnson is the top-ranked golfer in the world, and with good reason. His powerful drives are unmatched, and on an Augusta course that rewards players that can get far down the fairway, he's a solid pick to make a strong finish on Sunday.
Justin Thomas  Current odds: 10/1 World ranking: No. 2 Best Masters finish: T22 — 2017 One thing to know: Justin Thomas is one of the most consistent young golfers you'll find on the tour. Coming off the best year of his young career, Thomas is in fine form entering the Masters, having won the Honda Classic back in February. He's close friends with Spieth, and seeing the two together in one of the final pairings on Sunday could make for some great drama.
