Masters Hole in One Odds

According to oddsmakers, there's a big chance we're going to see a hole in one at this year's edition of the Masters, despite there not being one recorded in 2023. With that being said, there was at least one recorded in the six Masters prior, excluding the 2020 edition which was held in November.

At -240 odds, there's an implied probably of 70.59% of an ace being recorded this week.

If you're like me, you probably don't have a ton of desire to lay -240 odds on a prop like this. You'd have to bet $240 in order to profit $100 if there's a hole in one recorded.

Allow me to suggest a couple of alternatives. The first is obvious and it's to bet on a hole in one on Hole No. 16 specifically. 70.58% of holes in one recorded at the Masters have come at this hole so if there is one this week, there's a solid chance it takes place on the 16th. At -165, you can get a little bit more value by betting on an ace to be recorded specifically at this hole.

Another way you can target this prop bet is by betting on there to be a hole-in-one in Round 4 specifically. The majority of holes in one on the 16th hole take place in the final round due to the pin placement. Augusta puts the hole in a spot that is favorable to aces with golfers aiming to the right side of the green and allowing the ball to funnel down towards the hole.

At +110, this, in my opinion, is the best to make when it comes to betting on a hole in one.
