Once play begins, the featured group, as usual, will include Tiger Woods. He will tee off from Augusta National alongside Jason Day and Max Homa for the first two days. Day and Homa are no slouches in their own right, as Day is a former World No. 1, while Homa is a six-time winner on the PGA Tour. However, the star attraction is Woods, even though he's a massive 100-1 longshot in the 2024 Masters odds. Woods revealed this week that he "aches every day" following his assortment of injuries and surgeries, but he will still factor into plenty of 2024 Masters bets from both diehard and casual golf fans.<br>The 2024 Masters favorites include Scottie Scheffler (13-4) Rory McIlroy (10-1) and Brooks Koepka (11-1). Before locking in any 2024 Masters picks or golf predictions, you need to <a href="https://www.sportsline.com/insiders/2024-masters-odds-predictions-golf-insider-reveals-best-bets-longshots-to-back-at-augusta-national/#ttag=03062024_agg_cbssports_picks_golf_pgatour_patrickmcdonald_Masters2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">see what proven golf betting expert Patrick McDonald has to say</a>, considering his recent track record.<br>McDonald joined CBS Sports as a golf writer in 2022 after stops at NBC Sports and RyderCup.com. Covering the sport from a broader perspective, McDonald still likes to dip his toes into the betting pools on a weekly basis between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and more. Featured weekly on the Early Wedge, he has given out numerous winners already in 2024, including Jake Knapp (50-1) at the Mexico Open. <br>Now, McDonald has focused his attention on the 2024 Masters field and has locked in his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid. <a href="https://www.sportsline.com/insiders/2024-masters-odds-predictions-golf-insider-reveals-best-bets-longshots-to-back-at-augusta-national/#ttag=03062024_agg_cbssports_picks_golf_pgatour_patrickmcdonald_Masters2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can see only see them at SportsLine</a>.<br>One stunning prediction from McDonald: He is high on Sam Burns, even though he is a 50-1 longshot. In just his second Masters appearance last year, Burns shot par or better in three rounds and was in sixth place after Round 2 before tailing off. This season, he's placed in the top 10 in half of his eight events, including a third place at the Phoenix Open. He's hit his stride since 2021, with five PGA Tour victories and another five top-three finishes during this stretch.<br>Burns is masterful with his putter, ranking ninth in putting average, and is averaging the second-most birdies on tour. Plus, he doesn't just hit strong shots, he dodges bad ones, as he ranks in the top 10 in bogey avoidance. Burns ranks sixth on the PGA Tour in scoring average (actual), yet falls outside the top 25 in terms of shortest 2024 Masters odds. There's extreme value in utilizing him with golf bets and PGA predictions for Augusta, according to McDonald. <a href="https://www.sportsline.com/insiders/2024-masters-odds-predictions-golf-insider-reveals-best-bets-longshots-to-back-at-augusta-national/#ttag=03062024_agg_cbssports_picks_golf_pgatour_patrickmcdonald_Masters2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">See who else to back here</a>.<br>McDonald is also jumping on an underdog who's had plenty of success at Augusta National but is still listed at more than 100-1 to win it all. <a href="https://www.sportsline.com/insiders/2024-masters-odds-predictions-golf-insider-reveals-best-bets-longshots-to-back-at-augusta-national/#ttag=03062024_agg_cbssports_picks_golf_pgatour_patrickmcdonald_Masters2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can only see his 2024 Masters picks at SportsLine</a>.<br><strong>So, which players should you target or avoid for the 2024 Masters, and which proven golfer in the Masters 2024 field could bring a monster payday of almost 100-1?
