Ahead of The Masters, William Hill has introduced its biggest betting promotion, which allows bettors to get Money Back as a Free Bet (up to £50) if Rory McIlroy wins in Augusta this week.
After opting in, the promotion is available on bettors’ first wager on The Masters starting today (Wednesday). The deal is valid until Thursday at 6 p.m. BST, only a few hours after the first golf major of the year begins.
McIlroy is presently trailing leading challenger and reigning champion Scottie Scheffler (9/2) as the 11/2 second-favorite to win the Green Jacket and complete his career Grand Slam, along with William Hill. McIlroy’s 11/2 pricing is the lowest odds he has had going into the Masters in the last 12 years.

McIlroy has more than a quarter of the market’s bets, making the Northern Irishman the largest risk for the top bookmaker.
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “A thrilling week of golfing action is in store at Augusta and all the talk is about whether Rory McIlroy will finally complete his career Grand Slam at The Masters.
“We’re sticking our neck out to give our customers the best week of betting action possible with a Money Back as a Free Bet (up to £50) offer should McIlroy emerge victorious in Augusta.
“He’s currently second-favourite in our market, sat behind defending champion Scottie Scheffler, but this could easily change should Rory get on a roll on the Augusta greens.
“More than 21% of stakes in our market so far have been on McIlroy – he’s the biggest liability in our book.
“It’s been a long 11-year wait since McIlroy’s last Major triumph, but this could well be the year that he finally gets to try on that iconic Green Jacket.”
