The Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia is taking place April 10-13.

While there is no Tiger Woods in the field this year, there are plenty of golfers playing well into the event who are hoping to add a green jacket to their closet.

Who will win this years Masters?

As usual, many players are in top form coming into the Masters. Augusta often has a special place in the hearts of many of the players. Some more than others. Among those who seem to play well here, no matter their form coming into the event are: Rory McIlroy, world #1 Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland.

There are also some players from LIV who are have played well at Augusta and are looking to do well again: Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed and Joaquin Niemann.

2024 champion, Scottie Scheffler, is starting to play well this year with a runner-up finish at the Houston Open.

We’re also keeping an eye on Will Zalatoris, who is coming into form again after being laid up with a back injury in ’23. In his last three starts at Augusta, he has not finished outside the top 10.

Our picks to win this years tournament are:

1. Scheffler – World #1 is finally coming into form this season with a runner-up finish in Houston. Look for him to be in contention on the back 9 on Sunday.
2. Rory McIlroy – McIlroy is playing some of his best golf and is sneaking up behind world #1 Scheffler with two wins in ’25. This year marks one of the best chances to finally complete the career grand slam.
3. Zalatoris – No matter what form he is in, Zalatoris seems to arise to the occasion at Augusta. We look for him to finally put on a green jacket.

Long shots (sorta):

1. Gary Woodland – A more sentimental favorite coming into this years event is Woodland. Having come back from successful brain surgery, Woodland posted a runner-up finish at the Houston Open.
2. Ludwig Aberg – In his first Masters, the Swede finished runner-up to Scheffler in last year’s event. Look for him near the top of the leaderboard.
3. Jordan Spieth – A list wouldn’t be complete without Spieth – who seems to excel at Augusta. It’s his favorite tournament and place to play.

So there you have it.

Who do you think will win this year’s event?
