Will there be a hole in one at the 2025 Masters?

The best golfers in the world are all at Augusta National for The Masters. This is a look at the odds on DraftKings Sportsbook for somebody to make a hole-in-one at the 2025 Masters.


The Masters Tournament

The Masters Tournament is played at the famous Augusta National Golf Club. Augusta National is a par-72 golf course and ranges 7,555 yards. The greens are Bentgrass and some of the most challenging in the world. The Masters field features all of the best players in the world. From the PGA TOUR’s Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele to LIV’s Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm. This will be the first time this season that the two tours will come together and all of the best players in the world will be in the same field. Scottie Scheffler has won two of the past three Masters and he will be the man to beat once again.

Here is a look at the hole-in-one odds for The Masters:

There are a variety of ways to bet on a hole-in-one at The Masters. The most basic way is on the “Will there be a Hole in One in the Tournament?” prop. The “yes” odds are -200, and the “no” odds are +135. Despite the odds leaning in favor of “yes,” there has not been a hole-in-one at Augusta National in either of the past two years. The most recent hole-in-one at The Masters was in 2022 by Stewart Cink. Prior to this two-year dry spell, there was a hole-in-one in six of the seven previous years, so this two-year run without one is an outlier. In the Wednesday par-3 contest, Keegan Bradley got the positive vibes going with the first hole-in-one of the week.

In addition to the general hole-in-one odds, bettors can also take a shot on which hole or which round the hole-in-one will be hit:

Based on the odds, Hole 16 in Round 4 is the most likely time for a hole-in-one. There have been 34 hole-in-ones at Augusta during The Masters, and 24 of those have been hit on the 16th hole. In recent history, nine of the past ten hole-in-ones during The Masters have come on the 16th hole. Part of the reason for that is the pin placement on the 16th hole on Sunday. The Augusta National grounds crew always sets up the 16th-hole pin on Sunday so that the ball funnels directly down the hill towards the hole. That is why the odds are also heavily favoring a hole-in-one to be hit in Round 4 compared to the other three rounds.

Best Bet: Yes Hole in One on Hole 16 (-130): Due to the abundance of hole-in-ones hit at the 16th hole, there is more value on the -130 odds for a “Hole in One on Hole 16” compared to the -200 odds on “Will there be a Hole in One in the Tournament?”
