Summarize and humanize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in EnglishRory McIlroy comes into the tournament scorching hot, as he hasn’t finished worse than 17th in 2025 and outlasted J.J. Spaun in a playoff to take home The Players Championship win in mid-March. Only two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler (+450) has shorter odds at BetMGM to win this week than McIlroy at +650.The latter, however, has been attracting more attention recently from bettors.“Rory has been more popular than Scheffler so far,” said Johnny Avello, the race and sports operations director at DraftKings. “I think the action on Rory is due to current form and also the course. It’s a long course, and it’s probably going to be dry there, so the long hitters certainly have an advantage. Now it will come down to putting, and Rory has had times where his putter has failed him. But lately he’s looked really good, so it’s not a surprise bettors are playing him.”At BetMGM, McIlroy is leading the way in both bets (10.6 percent) and money (14.8 percent) to win the prestigious major, as his outright odds have dropped from a +1200 opener to his current price of +650. He has also received the most money to finish in first at both Hard Rock Bet and DraftKings, with one DraftKings bettor putting down $10,000 on McIlroy at +650 for a potential $65,000 win.GO FURTHERSportsbooks talk Masters betting: ‘Rory has been more popular than Scheffler so far’
