Four-time major champion Brooks Koepka has received the most money wagered at BetMGM to win The Masters with 11 percent of the betting handle.

It's not overly surprising, as Koepka advanced to the Quarterfinals at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play two weeks ago, and he also finished second at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February.

Of course, Koepka also finished second at The Masters in 2019 when Tiger Woods won the event for the fifth time.

However, it is Tiger who is the sportsbook's most significant liability.

"Once Tiger Woods began practicing at Augusta, bettors flocked to BetMGM to place wagers on the golf legend. Tiger moved from +6600 to +5000 to win The Masters last week in anticipation of his return to the course. Woods is currently BetMGM's biggest liability to win the tournament." - Matt Cosgriff, Director of Trading, BetMGM.
