Who will win the Masters’ green jacket in 2026? Here are five players to watch:
Scottie Scheffler (USA)
Age: 29 Odds: +495
World ranking: 1
FedEx Cup ranking: 7
Previous Masters; best finish: 6; 1st, 2022, 2024
Off the tee: May be rusty after pre-Masters break for the birth of his second child, but has every chance to keep even numbered-year win streak going.
Jon Rahm (USA)
Age: 31 Odds: +910
World ranking: 30
LIV Golf standings: 1
Previous Masters; best finish: 9; 1st, 2023
Off the tee: Rahm has dominated LIV Golf this year, finishing second, second, first, fifth and second. Can that translate into repeat Masters success?
Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland)
Age: 36 Odds: +1175
World ranking: 2
FedEx Cup ranking: 31
Previous Masters; best finish: 17; 1st, 2025
Off the tee: Uneven record since historic Masters win, and withdrawal from Arnold Palmer Invitational (back) is a red flag. Odds of becoming fourth back-to-back Masters seem long.
Xander Schauffele (USA)
Age: 32 Odds: +1800
World ranking: 10
FedEx Cup standings: 13
Masters entered; best finish: 8; T2nd, 2019
Off the tee: No wins in 2026, but strong form (third, The Players; T4, Valspar), two major titles and five Masters top 10s say his time is now.
Cameron Young (USA)
Age: 28 Odds: +2300
World ranking: 3
FedEx Cup standings: 2
Masters entered; best finish: 4; T7th, 2023
Off the tee: The Players win and three straight top 10s (T7 Genesis, T3 Arnold Palmer) suggest his odds should be better. Has never really contended at Augusta, though.
Others to watch: Bryson DeChambeau (USA), +1050; Ludvig Aberg (Sweden), +1650; Sam Burns (USA), +7200
