Highest handle percentage

• Jordan Spieth: 10.5%
• Bryson DeChambeau: 9.2%
• Justin Thomas: 7.7%
• Dustin Johnson: 7.1%
• Brooks Koepka: 6.2%

Spieth has been on a rapid rise up the OWGR. The former world No. 1 bottomed out at No. 92 in January but went into the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play at No. 54. He seeks his second green jackets after winning the 2015 Masters for his first of three career major championships.

DeChambea closed as the betting favorite for the 2020 Masters before a disappointing T-34 finish. He got his first win of 2021 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and was in the final group entering Sunday at The Players.

Koepka's odds have risen amid injury concerns and recent knee surgery. His playing status is in question.

New to sports betting? The handle refers to the amount of money wagered on the event. Thus far, 10.5% of all money bet on the Masters at BetMGM has been placed on Spieth.
