Masters Preview

Why the McIlroy offer appeals

This is the sort of Masters offer that works because it is built around something straightforward. Customers do not need Rory McIlroy to lead after the opening round or challenge for the title straight away. They just need him to make one birdie on Thursday. For a player of McIlroy’s quality, that gives the promotion obvious appeal and makes it an easy way for punters to get involved in the opening day at Augusta.

A low-stakes way into Round 1

With a £1 maximum qualifying stake and a £5 minimum deposit, this is a small-entry offer that still gives customers a big headline price to latch onto. The fact it focuses on Round 1 also adds to the appeal, because it gives punters a bet to follow from the moment The Masters gets under way. Rather than waiting all weekend for the outright market to develop, customers can have an interest in one of the tournament’s biggest stars from the first round.

Additional Masters Value with Sky Bet

As well as offering this exclusive deal for new customers fancying Rory McIlroy to nail a birdie in round 1, Sky Bet have value for their existing customers with each-way bets available with punters paid out if their golfer comes in the top 12 positions.
