Scottie Scheffler, who won the Masters in 2022 and 2024, is looking to secure his third green jacket in four years. He has shown some frustration in his recent performances, finishing 20th in the Players Championship, but rebounded with impressive rounds in the Houston Open, finishing second. Rory McIlroy, who has yet to win the Masters, aims to achieve a career Grand Slam, both players are among the favorites to win the tournament, alongside others like Xander Schauffele. The anticipation surrounding the event is heightened as Augusta National makes subtle yearly changes to the course while maintaining its classic appeal.
