Jon Rahm will continue his quest this week to win his second major championship and first Green Jacket. The World No. 3 has been one of the most dominant players on the planet over the last three years and is among the top betting favorites to win the Masters.
Odds on Rahm to Win
Contents
On most sportsbooks, Rahm ranges from 7/1 to 8/1 to win the Masters. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy sit around the same odds, with the next set of players in the field starting at 16/1.
When is Rahm’s tee time?
Rahm will tee off at 10:42 a.m. ET on Thursday and 1:48 p.m. ET Friday in group 14 alongside world-ranked No. 10 Justin Thomas and No. 14 Viktor Hovland.
Has Rahm Won the Masters?
The 28-year-old has yet to win at Augusta but boasts an impressive record on the course. In six appearances, Rahm has two top-5s, four top-10s and two ties for 27th. He has never missed a cut.
Many Masters patrons know the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder for his memorable ace at the 16th hole during a practice round in 2020.

A year ago, in his tie for 27th with Viktor Hovland and Seamus Power, Rahm put together rounds of 74, 72, 77 and 69. He finished the tournament at 4-over-par.
Rahm earned $111,000 for his efforts and owns $1,823,017 in career winnings at the Masters.
Rahm’s form entering the tournament
The 10-time PGA Tour winner comes into the Masters on fire. This season, Rahm has recorded three wins (In a 1.5-month span from Jan. 8 to Feb. 19) at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, American Express (back-to-back starts) and the Genesis Invitational.
In nine starts this campaign, Rahm has only two finishes worse than T8. These include a withdrawal at the Player’s Championship due to a stomach bug and a T39 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Currently, Rahm ranks first in the 2022-2023 PGA Tour FedEx Cup Rankings ahead of Max Homa and Scheffler.
In 2022, Rahm also captured three victories at the Mexico Open, Spanish Open and the DP World Tour Championship. These wins spread across the PGA (1) and DP World Tour (2). The in-form golfer has had nine total European Tour victories since 2017.
The Scottsdale, Arizona resident’s lone major victory came at the 2021 U.S. Open on the South Course of Torrey Pines. He defeated South African Louis Oosthuizen by one stroke.
Rahm has spent 46 weeks as the World No. 1 since 2020. He first achieved the feat in July 2020 and as recently as March 2023. This year, he’s traded the spot with Scheffler and McIlroy. A win at the Masters would return him to the top.
