The race for the iconic Green Jacket at the 2026 Masters is shaping up to be a blockbuster showdown. Defending champion and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy is more dangerous than ever, courtesy of his newfound sense of freedom after finally ending his 11-year wait for a fifth major.

He could find himself going head-to-head with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, the tournament favorite following a dominant 2025 season, highlighted by his win at the American Express. But this year’s field runs far deeper than a two-man battle.

Bryson DeChambeau arrives in red-hot form with back-to-back LIV Golf victories, while former Masters champion Jon Rahm and proven contenders like Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick – both already winners on the PGA Tour this season – pose serious threats.
