Abraham Ancer: An LIV player in medicre form, although he won the Saudi International on the Asian Tour in February. His three Masters appearances brought finishes of 13-26-MC. An nappealing option this year.
Sam Bennett: Last year’s US Amateur champion and the world #6 amateur makes his Masters debut aged 23. He tied for 49th in the US Open last year, but has missed cut in 3 regulation events. Making the cut is his target this time.
Keegan Bradley: Bradley became the US PGA champion in his Major debut in 2011. He has a mediocre Masters record of 27-54-MC-22-52-43, but is a 5-time PGA Tour champion and in decent form.
Sam Burns: The WGC-Match Play champion. He beat Scottie Scheffler on his way to victory in that event the week before last, but missed the cut in his Masters debut last year. Burns is likely to make his first Augusta cut on Friday.
Patrick Cantlay: The FedEx Cup champion in 2021 and a 7-time PGA Tour winner, Cantlay is in rock-solid form, but has only 3 top-10s in 23 Major starts and has never fared better than 9th place in the Masters.
Ben Carr: Last year’s US Amateur runner-up makes his Masters debut aged 22. He is the world #46 amateur and missed the cut by 2 shots in the Puerto Rico Open last month. An early exit is likely.
Cameron Champ: An injury-plagued powerhouse who goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. He has a solid Masters record (19-26-10) and is a 3-time PGA Tour champion, but arrives in dismal form.
Corey Conners: The Canadian greens-in-regulation machine has eye-catching Masters form (MC-46-10-8-6). He won his second PGA Tour title on Sunday in the Texas Open.
Fred Couples: The veteran 1992 champion' is now aged 63 and has not made a Masters cut since 2018. He will probably struggle to stop the rot.
Harrison Crowe: The Asia-Pacific amateur champion is making his Masters debut aged 21. The Australian has already won on his home Tour and will be hopeful of making the cut.
Jason Day: The Aussie was knocked out of the Match Play by Scottie Scheffler. He is consistent but winless this year. Day is a 3-times Augusta a top-5' finisher, but has missed cut in his last 2 visits and is overrated in the market.
Bryson DeChambeau: DeChambeau was heavily supported for the Masters in 2021 and went off second-favorite, but tied for 46th place, then missed the cut last year. He was theUS Open champ in 2020, but has been generally poor on the LIV circuit.
Harris English: The Georgian golfer has progressive Masters results (MC-42-21) and 2 top-5s in the US Open. The 4-time PGA Tour champion was 2nd at Bay Hill last month and has top-20 claims.
Mateo Fernandez de Oliveira: The Latin America amateur champion makes his Masters debut aged 23. The Argentinian is the world #25 amateur but has missed the cut in the last 2 Argentina Opens and is likely to do the same this week.
Tony Finau: A 5-time PGA Tour champion with 3 wins last year. Finau has a solid Majors record, including Augusta form of 10-5-38-10-35 and is a huge threat to win the Green Jacket.

Matt Fitzpatrick: The Englishman started the year with a neck issue and has missed 4 of his last 6 cuts as well as being eliminated in the group stage of the Match Play. He has a best finish of 7th from eight Masters appearances.
Tommy Fleetwood: Still a PGA Tour maiden and was winless in the Match Play last time out. The Englishman has no top-10 finishes from 6 previous Masters, but was 3rd in the Valspar Championship in his last strokeplay start. He could register a top-20 finish.
Ryan Fox: This is a Masters debut for the Kiwi powerhouse. He has no top-10s in 14 Majors with 6 missed cuts. He is in solid form and capable, but probably lacks the touch to make an immediate impact at Augusta.
Sergio Garcia: An LIV rebel who is yet to win on that circuit. He was the Masters champion in 2017 but that was the 43-year-old’s only Major win and he missed the cut in 3 of the last 4 Masters. He was abysmal in Orlando last week.
Talor Gooch: An accurate and consistent LIV Golf player who has been regularly finishing just off the leaderboard. A 1-time PGA Tour champion who tied for 14th in his Masters debut last year.
Brian Harman: The diminutive left-hander finished runner-up in the 2017 US Open and was 6th in last year’s British Open. A 2-time PGA Tour champion with Augusta form of MC-44-12-MC.
Tyrrell Hatton: The Englishman was Sawgrass runner-up last month but has a miserable Masters record (MC-44-56-MC-18-52), often struggling on the greens. He flopped as favorite in Texas last week, missing the cut.

Kazuki Higa: A Japanese debutant aged 27. He was given an invitation after cementing a place in the world’s top 100. He missed the cut in his Major debut last year at the British Open. Weekend employment is his target.
Tom Hoge: A magnificent iron-player who tied for 39th in his Masters debut last year, soon after his PGA Tour breakthrough at Pebble Beach. He was 3rd at Sawgrass in his last strokeplay start and must be respected.
Max Homa: A 6-time PGA Tour champion but has no top-10s in 13 previous Majors and Masters form of MC-MC-48. He has never been more confident, but his natural fade is a negative at Augusta.
Billy Horschel: The Floridian has been working on swing changes. He has won 6 times on the PGA Tour, but his Masters record is awful (37-MC-17-MC-56-38-50-43) and he has 2 top-20s in 36 Majors.
Viktor Hovland: A top-class ball-striker who played well on the Florida Swing. He had a cold putter at the Match Play and won only 1 match, but is a 3-time PGA Tour champion. He is a titlr threat in his fourth Masters (32-21-27).
Mackenzie Hughes: A quarter-finalist at the WGC-Match Play, losing to eventual winner Sam Burns. He has Augusta results of MC-40-50 and probably lacks the long-game class to be a factor.
Sungjae Im: The consistent Korean was 6th at Sawgrass and lively at the Match Play, finding top gear at an opportune time. He has Masters form of 2-MC-8 and is an underrated contender.
Dustin Johnson: The 2020 champion was practising at Augusta the week before last, always laying up at the revised 13th hole. The LIV star has played only 3 events in 5 months (9rounds), so could be rusty, but he was 7th in Orlando on Sunday.
Zach Johnson: Masters champion in the terrible weather of 2007 and Open champion in more rough stuff in 2015. He has missed the last 2 Augusta cuts and is a fading force aged 47.
Si Woo Kim: A charismatic Korean who infamously putted with a 3-wood at Augusta after breaking his putter. A 4-time PGA Tour champion, but has no top-10s in 23 Majors.
Tom Kim: This is the Masters debut for the 20-year-old Korean, who is a 2-time PGA Tour champion. He has Major results of MC-MC-23-47 but has gone off the boil this year.
Chris Kirk: A 5-time PGA Tour champion who ended a victory drought of almost 8years in the Honda Classic in February. He lives in Georgia and this is his first Masters since missing cut in 2016.
Kevin Kisner: A former University of Georgia man who says Augusta is too long for him, a point proved by his results of 37-43-28-21-MC-MC-44 there. A 39-year-old in poor form.
Kurt Kitayama: This is a Masters debut for the Arnold Palmer Invitational champion, who was a quarter-finalist in the Match Play last time out. Has never bettered 51st in 8 Major starts.

Shane Lowry: The 2019 British Open champion showed his class again to win the BMW PGA Championship last year. He has encouraging 3-year Masters form of 25-21-3, but his 2023 campaign has been poor so far.

Hideki Matsuyama: The 2021 champion has a rock-solid Masters record (5-7-11-19-32-13-1-14 in the last 8 years), but has become troubled by injury, losing power.
Matthew McClean: An optometrist from Northern Ireland, living the dream for a week aged 29, having won the US Mid-Amateur. This is a Masters debut for the world #70 amateur.
Rory McIlroy: A 4-time Major champ seeking to complete a career Grand Slam. This is his 9th attempt at securing the final piece of jigsaw. He was runner-up last year when arriving short of form but was brilliant last time out in the Match Play.
