Saudi Arabia … World No. 2 Rory McIlroy is top favourite with PaddyPower installing him at 7-1 to finally win a maiden Masters next April at Augusta National.
McIlroy will be making an 11th straight appearance in the new seaon’s traditional first Major Championship and with his best finish being fourth in 2015, and since that finish the Irishman’s never been outside the top-10.
Of course, McIlroy’s been so close to being fitted with a famed Augusta National green members jacket on a number of occasions including leading going into the final round at the 2011 Masters and then in 2018McIlroy and Patrick Reed teed off in the final pairing though with McIlroy three shots behind Reed.

Sadly, McIlroy went out to shoot a 74 to finish six back of the winner, Reed.
