dailyloe.com – Golf legend José María Olazábal finished the first round of the 2026 Masters Tournament tied for 40th place with a score of two-over-par. The two-time Masters champion faces extremely long odds of +150000 to win the event according to BetMGM Sportsbook. These odds imply a very low probability of victory for the Spanish golfer.
Olazábal has competed in only two PGA Tour events over the past twelve months. His best and average finish in those tournaments was 40th place. He has recorded no top-five finishes during this recent period.
Recent statistical trends show Olazábal has finished with a better-than-average score just once in his last five tournaments. He carries an average score of six-over-par across those five events. His average finishing position in those tournaments is 43rd.
The veteran golfer has qualified for the weekend rounds in only two of his last five events. His most recent result was at the Masters Tournament where he shot 77-74. That performance resulted in a missed cut at seven-over-par.
