Spieth remains favorite to claim green jacket at 2018 Masters
Las Vegas oddsmakers remain optimistic Jordan Spieth will win his second career green jacket next spring at Augusta National Golf Club.
Spieth - who won his third career major at The Open last July - is the significant favorite to win the 2018 Masters, with oddsmakers listing him at 7-1 on Monday. The Texan won at Augusta in 2015, posted two runner-up results in 2014 and 2016, and finished T-11 last year.
Dustin Johnson fell from 8-1 opening odds in August to 10-1, while Rory McIlroy sits at 12-1 to claim his first green jacket. A win by the Northern Irishman would make him the sixth player ever to accomplish the career grand slam.
Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Jon Rahm, and Justin Thomas are slotted at 15-1.
Tiger Woods hasn't played in a major since the 2015 PGA Championship, but impressed enough at the Hero World Challenge to be given 20-1 odds for a fifth Masters victory.
Here is a look at all the top favorites.
