Jack Hirsh indicates Rory McIlroy is an attractive betting choice heading into the 2025 Masters due to his strong early-season performances. McIlroy won two major tournaments already this season: the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Players Championship, two of the biggest events in the first three months. Hirsh emphasizes McIlroy's potential narrative at Augusta as he seeks to complete the highly coveted Career Grand Slam—his first major title since 2014. With odds at +650, slightly behind Scheffler, McIlroy is considered a strong candidate by many to win the Masters this year due to his recent form and competitive momentum.

Jack Hirsh highlighted Scottie Scheffler as a risky betting favorite for the 2025 Masters, even though Scheffler remains the top pick according to oddsmakers at +450. Hirsh points out that this year is notably different from 2024, when Scheffler was dominant heading into Augusta with two victories already secured and eventually compiled seven wins plus an Olympic gold medal. This season, however, Scheffler hasn't won since last year's Tour Championship and missed early-season events due to a hand injury. He does have three top-10 finishes in six starts, including a recent T2 at the Houston Open, but there's clear concern about his form and readiness compared to previous years.

Jack Hirsh backed Collin Morikawa at +1400 odds to win the 2025 THE PLAYERS Championship, emphasizing Morikawa's elite ball striking as a critical factor. Despite the heartbreak at Bay Hill, Hirsh believes Morikawa is striking the ball as well as ever, exceptionally high praise given Morikawa's renowned iron play. Hirsh specifically noted that he doesn't foresee Morikawa suffering from any negative hangover from his recent loss at Bay Hill.
