The 2026 US Masters is almost officially underway at Augusta National Golf Club, and the stage is set for one of the most exciting green‑jacket races in recent memory.
With the world’s best players under the Georgia pines, the only question left is: who will wear the coveted green jacket this year?
Who’s in the spotlight?
World No. 1 and two‑time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler heads into Augusta as the betting favorite, heavily talked about as a strong contender for his third green jacket.
Defending champion Rory McIlroy, fresh off his career Grand Slam‑cementing win in 2025, will look to become one of the rare players to successfully defend at Augusta.
Joining them in the mix are stars like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and rising talent Ludvig Aberg, making every round must‑watch golf.
Why this Masters feels different
The 90th edition of the Masters brings a packed field of former champions, major winners and breakout stars, all chasing that same legendary green jacket.
With a record‑size purse and unmatched drama across Amen Corner and the final nine, this year’s tournament could deliver a new chapter in Augusta folklore.
