Augusta 2025 masters will be the first time in nine months that in front of the best players in the world now divided into two circuits from the emergence of LIV Golf. With the world ranking distorted by the absence of the league golfers driven by Saudi Arabia, there are no accurate references to establish a hierarchy beyond the sensations that golfers give off in their trajectories.
Scottie Scheffler
As a defender of the title, he deserves to head is ready. The season did not start by a cut in the right hand on Christmas Day, which specified surgery. Only three golfers in the history of the masters have revalidated the jacket and only Nicklaus could win three titles in four years. It has not been released this year yet. He was second at the Houston Open.

Rory Mcilroy
He is the big one who lacks. He became second in 2022, but has starred in great collapses in the Augusta National. He has been the best winter golfer, with two victories in Pebble Beach and the TPC. His time could have come. Sticks strong, something that is not decisive in this field where you are very rewarded to take street. And in this statistic it has a poor balance: 51.3 percent and the position beyond 150. It is not the main favorite, but in a scrambled river moves well.
Jon Rahm
Winner in 2023. He has not won in this course yet, but has given Green’s great strength. He knows augusta well and transmits a serenity that he had not issued so far. The great ability to make birdies can be a decisive factor, since the experience allows you to minimize errors. It is the best alternative of Liv Golf with Joaquín Niemann surely.

Justin Thomas
He has not had this average term. He has had great actions, without victories, with others very discreet. He has played the Masters nine times and was fourth in 2020. At 31 he has reached that age where nothing new finds in the Augusta National. He is a player who motivates himself next to the greats and the first two days he will play with Scottie Scheffler, in addition to Josele Ballester
Ludvig Aberg
With 25 years and professional only since 2023, he has a meteoric career. He has only played the masters once and ended in second position. His stick speed awakens the praise of all his companions. It is the number 5 in the world, a fixed for the Ryder Cup, and two months ago the invitational genesis won, the tournament promoted by Tiger Woods. It will not be far from the victory.

Sergio García
He has demonstrated this season that is very good with driver and irons. He also puts putts, which is why he won the LIV of Hong Kong and almost wins in doral last Sunday. In his twenty -sixth Masters, winner in 2017, in the Centenary of the Majors, he could become the second most veteran to win the green jacket behind Jack Nicklaus.
