Availability and specific markets vary by state – always confirm the operator’s state‑by‑state terms before signing up. (careers.draftkings.com)

How we chose these sportsbooks
This page focuses only on operators for which current, verifiable evidence shows: (1) golf/Masters markets are offered on their live sportsbook product pages or house rules, and (2) the operator maintains a regulated U.S. presence. We prioritized operators that publish explicit Masters/major golf content or house‑rule language referencing majors and that operate under U.S. state licences. Where national availability differs by state we describe that limitation below and link to the operator source for readers to confirm access in their state. Key documentary sources include operators’ golf or Masters pages, sportsbook house rules, and state‑facing operator pages. (sportsbook.draftkings.com)
Regulation, legality and state access (short summary)
Sports betting in the U.S. is licensed on a state level. Operators listed above run regulated sportsbook products in many—but not all—states. None of the operators below are universally available to every U.S. resident: physical location and state licensing determine whether you can open an account or place a wager. Always check the sportsbook’s state availability pages and your state regulator for the most current status before attempting to play. The PGA Tour and other golf authorities also publish guidance on responsible betting and the need to use licensed operators. (careers.draftkings.com)

Differences that matter for Masters bettors
Market depth and props
Not all sportsbooks offer the same depth of Masters markets. Some focus on futures (tournament winner, top country, top amateur), while others add round leaders, hole‑in‑one specials, –‑three‑ball matchups, and nuanced novelty props. Operators that publish Masters previews and specialty market guides tend to have broader prop menus around Masters week. For examples of operators publishing Masters market guides see BetMGM and DraftKings. (sports.betmgm.com)
In‑play/live betting and settlement rules
Live in‑play options are common during Masters week, but settlement rules can differ (for example, whether a futures bet stands if the tournament is shortened, or how withdrawals affect individual player markets). Fanatics and Caesars publish clear house rules for golf settlement and expressly reference majors like the Masters in their rulebooks—read those rules before placing live or futures wagers. (sportsbook.fanatics.com)
Odds and price-shopping
Because Masters futures and props move with news (tee times, injuries, weather), odds can vary substantially between books. Many serious bettors will open accounts at two or more of the operators above and use an odds‑comparison tool during Masters week to capture the best price for a specific market. We recommend comparing the published outright and head‑to‑head prices across apps during the weeks leading up to the event. (Golf odds pages on DraftKings and FanDuel are good starting points.) (sportsbook.draftkings.com)
Promotions and product features (what to watch for)
A few operator features can affect Masters play: loyalty/bonus‑bank rules (how bonus funds can be used on futures), odds boosts specifically for majors, and any “if‑settled” carveouts in house rules. Do not assume bonus funds are eligible for all Masters markets—operators publish state‑specific terms and exclusions. Check promo terms and the operator’s house rules page before applying promotional credit to Masters bets. (betrivers.com)
Practical advice for betting the Masters
- Confirm your legal ability to bet in your state. If you’re outside approved states, do not attempt to wager. Each operator lists state‑by‑state availability and terms; use those pages first. (careers.draftkings.com)
- Shop lines across the apps above for outright and top‑10/top‑20 markets—small differences matter at long odds.
- Consider splitting futures across operators to preserve optionality for cashouts or hedges when a player is in contention.
- Read golf settlement house rules before placing player‑specific bets (withdrawals, shortened events, and dead‑heat rules differ). (sportsbook.fanatics.com)
- Set a staking plan and stick to it—majors produce emotional swings and long‑shot chases. Responsible gambling resources are listed at operator sites and state regulator pages. (pgatour.com)
Our methodology (short)
We verified each operator’s golf/Masters coverage by checking their official sportsbook golf pages, Masters‑specific pages, or house rules where Masters/majors are explicitly referenced. We also confirmed that each operator maintains regulated U.S. operations (state‑facing pages or state house rules). From that universe we selected six operators that routinely publish Masters markets or have dedicated Masters content. This is not an exhaustive list of all U.S. sportsbooks that will carry Masters markets; it is a curated list based on verifiable, current operator pages. (sportsbook.draftkings.com)
Responsible gambling
Betting must be done only by those aged 18+ or 21+ as required by the state where you place the wager. Use licensed U.S. sportsbooks and consult the operator’s responsible gambling tools (deposit limits, timeouts, self‑exclusion) if you need them. This article does not provide financial advice—bet responsibly and within your means. (careers.draftkings.com)
FAQs
Q: Are Masters bets legal everywhere in the U.S.
A: No. Sports betting is regulated by each state. The Masters itself is legal to bet where online/mobile sports wagering is licensed. Always check the sportsbook’s state availability and your state regulator before placing a wager. (careers.draftkings.com)
Q: Which markets should I expect for the Masters
A: Typical Masters markets include outright winner (futures), top‑finishes (top‑5/top‑10/top‑20), round leaders, head‑to‑head matchups, make/miss cut, and novelty/prop markets (hole‑in‑one, wire‑to‑wire). The exact markets and their availability vary by operator and state. (sportsbook.draftkings.com)
Q: Do operators void futures if the Masters is shortened by weather
A: Settlement rules vary. Many operators state that futures stand if the tournament produces an official winner and at least a minimum number of holes are completed (often 36 holes), but policies differ—check each sportsbook’s golf house rules for the exact language. (sportsbook.fanatics.com)
Q: Should I use promotions to bet majors
A: Promotions can add value but read their terms carefully—some offers exclude futures or certain prop markets. Confirm that promotional funds are usable on the Masters market you want before relying on them. (betrivers.com)
Q: Where can I find the best odds for a specific golfer
A: Odds move across books. Open accounts at multiple licensed sportsbooks and use an odds‑comparison tool or check the apps directly in the run‑up to the event to capture the best price for a chosen golfer. (sportsbook.draftkings.com)
