Matt Chivers highlighted Jon Rahm as an excellent betting selection for the 2025 Masters at 16/1 odds due to several strong factors. Rahm's Augusta record includes five top-10 finishes since debuting in 2017, notably a victory in 2023, when he shot a final-round 69 to win by four strokes. Rahm's play aligns perfectly with Augusta's demanding setup; he excelled off the tee (318-yard driving average), scrambling (ranked 3rd), and greens-in-regulation (1st) in the LIV Golf League in 2024. Length and short-game prowess are crucial at Augusta, and Rahm excels in both, consistently generating birdie opportunities. Despite transferring from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf and competing less frequently, Rahm has remained sharp, consistently finishing in the top 10 at LIV events worldwide. DataGolf metrics confirm Rahm has maintained elite performance, consistently placing in the top 5 in global player rankings, with a birdie-heavy scoring rate and over 75% greens-in-regulation hit, making him a strong betting value for this major tournament.
