Masters 2023 field by the rankings: Golfers to consider picking in your office pool

Looking for a golfer to pick in your 2023 Masters Tournament office pool?

One strategy is to consider players who have had the most success in the months leading up to the first major of the year.

The entire Masters field is broken down below according to the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings as well as the Official World Golf Ranking. The column labeled “Heat Index” is a player’s ranking based on his play the past three months. That can help you pick a player who is trending.

For the 2022-23 season, the average ranking of the winner heading into the week in which they won a PGA Tour event has been 51.68 in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings and 57.64 in the OWGR.
