Who will win the 89th Masters? Our experts dive into all the twists and turns of the year's greatest major
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The week of festivities have already at Augusta National Golf Club with the first round of the 89th Masters fast approaching. As usual, the key question everyone's asking remains the same across the golf world: Who are you picking to win the green jacket? With an extraordinary 95-man field featuring the best professionals and many of the top amateurs in the world, the first major championship of 2025 should be a tremendous ride from Thursday's first round through the awarding of the green jacket Sunday evening.
While the Masters field is stacked, reigning champion Scottie Scheffler, who has won two of the last three green jackets, is not riding as much momentum into the tournament as usual. Scheffler has gotten off to a slow start to the 2025 season but nevertheless enters as the favorite to win a second consecutive Masters. Just behind him on the odds board is Rory McIlroy, who conversely is off to his best start through three months to open any season in his career with two victories already in his bag.
2023 Masters champion Jon Rahm follows the two single-digit favorites with Collin Morikawa just behind. While Morikawa has struggled to find the winner's circle of late, he's played some of the best golf through the early portion of 2025 alongside McIlroy.
