The Masters 2024 Sleeper Picks: Top 5 contenders that might surprise everyone

The Masters Tournament is just hours away and the golf world is more than ready to tee off. Everyone has clear favorites and it is known that the fight is going to be fierce.

However, it is golf, and predictions rarely come true. That is why it is good not to lose sight of the players who could surprise and win the most coveted title in world golf.

The Masters Top 5 sleeper picks

There are several players to whom the specialized betting sites give real options to surprise in the Masters 2024, despite not being among the main favorites. Among them is Tiger Woods, who has looked very good in his practice rounds.

1. Corey Conners (+6,600) 

Corey Conners has a solid track record at the Masters, with three consecutive top 10 finishes before he missed the cut last year. He has also shown a tendency to make runs up the leaderboard in big events. At 66-to-1 odds, Conners may not be a traditional dark horse pick, but he certainly has the potential to make a strong run at the green jacket. While there may be longer shots available, the potential payout of 66-to-1 is certainly enticing for those looking to take a chance on a player with a solid track

2. Rickie Fowler (+8,000)

Rickie Fowler is always a threat at Augusta National, and this year could be no different. He hasn’t played great this year, but he has a strong track record at Augusta with five top-12 finishes. Fowler is making his first Masters appearance in four years, and he could be due for a breakthrough at a course he’s familiar with.

3. Nicolai Hojgaard (15,000)

Nicolai Hojgaard is a rising Ryder Cupper with ball-striking prowess for days. He’s got the spunk to show up at Augusta National and genuinely believe he’ll leave with a green jacket. At 150-1, he’s a great value pick with a lot of upside.

4. Byeong Hun An (+15,000)

Byeong Hun An has been playing some great golf this season, and his game is a great fit for Augusta National. He bombs the ball off the tee and has the short game to work with the slopes around Augusta. If he has an above-average putting week, he will have a chance to contend at the Masters.

5. Grayson Murray (+40,000)

Grayson Murray has been flying under the radar this season, but he’s been playing some great golf. He even won this year and has been driving it well. His most recent result at the Players Championship was a Sunday 64, which is a great sign of his form. Murray is currently third on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green, which is a metric that has been a strong indicator of success at Augusta National.

These are just a few of the contenders that might surprise at the Masters 2024. While the odds may be entirely in their favor, anything can happen at Augusta National. So, keep an eye on these sleepers and see if they can make some noise at the first major of the year.
