The Masters will be a little different in 2020. Not only has the event been moved from April to November, making it the final major of the season, but you’ll be able to bet on The Masters in Tennessee for the first time.
The first TN online sportsbooks are now online and taking bets before the action at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia begins on Nov. 12.
Tiger Woods is the defending champion, having won his fifth green jacket in 2019. But there is no shortage of contenders in golf’s top 20 who will be at Augusta looking to get the job done this season.
Want to get a bet down on one (or many) of them? Here’s what you need to know to do it, including the best online sportsbooks to bet on The Masters in Tennessee, plus a rundown of the top betting tips and contenders for golf’s most prestigious title.
Here’s a look at the odds (as of Nov. 10) for the favorites to win the 2020 Masters according to DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook (Odds are subject to change; check your preferred sportsbook for the latest odds):

Tennessee online sportsbooks and mobile betting apps allow you to bet on The Masters in a variety of ways, including:
You can bet on Tiger Woods to win The 2020 Masters, and why wouldn’t you?
Woods is a five-time Masters winner and the defending champion. He is within three major titles of Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 and always ups his game at Augusta in pursuit of that.
Plus, Woods is, at last check, available at odds of up to +4500 to win ahead of the tournament. Some TN sportsbooks may even run various Tiger Woods betting specials and odds boosts to entice you to bet on him.
At the very least, you may find a few Tiger Woods prop bets attractive, including bets on Woods to finish in the top five, to make an Eagle in any round, or earn a spot in the last group in the final round.
Remember, though, Woods is 44 and one of the older golfers on tour. He’s well past his prime and a decade or older than the top golfers today. He’s also coming off a 72nd-place finish at the ZOZO Championship at the end of October 2020.
Outside of Tiger Woods, here’s a look at other favorites to contend in The 2020 Masters:
Everybody is talking about Bryson DeChambeau and how he beefed up and is now dominating the PGA Tour. He won his first major at the 2020 US Open and is now the longest driver on tour after gaining 40 pounds. That said, at The Masters, driving is for the show, and putting is for the dough, so DeChambeau will need to show up on the greens to preserve his status as the favorite to put on the green jacket.
Dustin Johnson has already been voted 2020 PGA Tour Player of the Year and is No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking. He finished second at the 2020 PGA Championship but won the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup. He also finished tied for second in the 2019 Masters and is a good bet to compete again this year.
Xander Schauffele has never won a major, but he did finish tied for second in The 2019 Masters.
Brooks Koepka has won four majors over the past four years, including the 2018 and 2019 PGA Championship and 2017 and 2018 US Open. He’s also the third player that finished tied for second at The 2019 Masters.
Patrick Cantlay finished in the top 10 at the 2019 Masters. Plus, he’s coming off a win at the ZOZO Championship at the end of October 2020.
Here are three Masters betting tips you might want to pay heed to this year:

Vegas Masters odds are the odds available on The Masters at Las Vegas sportsbooks. The US Masters betting markets at TN online and mobile sportsbooks will open with around the same lines you’ll find at Las Vegas sportsbooks. Differences will be found when local betting on one golfer or another forces sportsbooks, here or there, to move the lines.
Normally, The Masters Tournament Par-3 contest is a competition held the Wednesday before The Masters begins. Presumably, you’d be able to bet on it like any other sporting event. Unfortunately, it will not take place in 2020 because it is traditionally friends and family events, and no spectators are allowed on the course this year.
There are many different ways to qualify for The Masters, including:
The green jacket started as something Augusta National members would wear to identify themselves as members. When Sam Snead won The Master II 1949, he was given a green jacket and the tradition of awarding one to the winner continues to this day.
Like there are for other major sporting events, there are Masters betting pools. Traditionally, these pools involve you and other entrants picking a set number of golfers and earning points based on how they finish. You pay to enter your team and the prize pool is split among the top-earning teams.
