Day 1 of the 2024 Masters Tournament is in the books.
Although several players will finish their first round on Friday thanks to some rainy weather Thursday morning, there’s been plenty of movement up and down the odds board.
But there’s a familiar name at the top.
Scottie Scheffler, who came into the tournament as a historic favorite, extended his lead over his competition on the odds board at BetMGM Sportsbook with a sparkling 6-under round Thursday.
Scheffler is now +150 to win his second Green Jacket after coming into the tournament at +500.
Bryson DeChambeau, who shot 7-under, is the only player with a better score than Scheffler on Day 1 and currently has the second-best odds heading into Friday at +600.

Betting on golf?
Brooks Koepka’s odds also took a dive, going from +1800 pre-tournament to +2500 after playing even golf through 11 holes.
Tiger Woods looked solid in his return to Augusta, going 1-under through 13 holes with five more to go on Friday.
But the golf legend is still on the fringes of contention, according to oddsmakers, sitting at +6600 at BetMGM.
