Max Homa Masters Odds and Outlook - Searching For Major Breakthrough

The year's first major championship is just around the corner, as the golf world is set to once again turn its eyes to Augusta National Golf Club for the 2023 Masters tournament on April 6.

The Masters is, famously, a tradition unlike any other, that is held in a special place of reverence by both golf fans and the world's most elite players. Make no mistake, winning a green jacket is life-changing and a dream of every golfer teeing it up in this year's edition of the tournament.

Winning the Masters gets you a spot in the field for a lifetime, but if you aren't a former champion, this is a very tough field to qualify for. Max Homa has continued to rise up the professional golf rankings thanks to his increasingly-impressive play. The Californian is currently ranked sixth in the Official World Golf Ranking and punched his ticket for the 2023 Masters thanks to both that ranking and multiple victories on the PGA Tour.

Max Homa's Masters Odds

Below are Max Homa's current odds for winning the 2023 Masters:

• DraftKings Sportsbook: +2500
• FanDuel Sportsbook: +3000
• BetMGM Sportsbook: +2500

Max Homa's Recent Form

The Californian has been one of the PGA Tour's most consistently elite players in 2023. Homa scored a huge victory in his home state in January, winning the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. He followed that triumph by battling Jon Rahm for the Genesis title at Riviera in February, ultimately settling for a runner-up finish.

Homa has remained impressively sharp since the Tour exited the West Coast with a T14 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a T6 at THE PLAYERS Championship.

The 32-year-old's game is clicking in every area, but the combination of brilliant iron play and excellent putting has helped to elevate him to the No. 6 OWGR spot in 2023. Homa ranks fifth on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Approach for the 2022-23 season, while standing ninth on Tour in Total Putting.

Max Homa's Masters Record

Homa's Masters record - and overall major championship history - leaves a lot to be desired. After missing the cut in his first career Masters start in 2020, he again failed to make the weekend in 2021. The Californian did finally break through in last year's edition, making the cut for the first time at Augusta National and finishing with a T48.

The fan favorite has just one round under par across his eight career rounds in the Masters and he's never broken 70 at Augusta National. Homa currently holds an ugly 74.38 Masters scoring average.

Max Homa's 2023 Masters Outlook

Homa's backers likely enter the year's first major championship with tentative optimism, as he comes in playing the best golf of his career. His shortcomings in major championships to this point are fairly well known, as he's missed the cut in eight of his 13 career major championship appearances with just a single top-25 result.

However, Homa did make progress in last year's majors by making the cut in three of four and scoring a career-best T13 in the PGA Championship. We can also keep in mind that Augusta National is a very unique golf course that can often take years for players to get comfortable on. With his world-class form and skill set, as well as his increasing Masters experience, this feels like a true breakout opportunity for Homa.
