The Leading Contenders of the Masters 2023

The Masters is considered one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world, and this year’s event promises to be no exception. With an impressive lineup of former champions and current winners, the tournament is set to be a thrilling competition.

Among the competitors is the legendary Tiger Woods, who is expected to tee it up for the 25th time at Augusta National. Despite suffering a significant leg injury last year, Woods has made 23-of-24 cuts and boasts an impressive record of 14 top-10 finishes at the event. The 82-time PGA Tour winner has won the Masters five times and holds 15 major championship trophies, second only to Jack Nicklaus.

Another top contender is Scottie Scheffler, the world’s number one player. Scheffler will be looking to defend his Green Jacket after winning his first major at last year’s tournament. The Texan has already won five PGA Tour events, including the Phoenix Open and the Players Championship this year.

Jon Rahm, the 2021 U.S. Open winner, has been in exceptional form this year, with three titles under his belt already. He has finished in the top ten four times in six appearances at Augusta National, making him another player to watch out for.

Rory McIlroy, the World No. 2, is just one Masters victory away from completing the career grand slam. He has won every major except for the Masters, and he will be looking to rectify that this year. McIlroy has recorded a top-10 finish in every major tournament in 2022, and he will be aiming to build on his solo second-place finish at Augusta last year.

Finally, Phil Mickelson, the three-time Green Jacket winner, will be making his 30th appearance at Augusta National. The World Golf Hall of Fame member became the oldest player to win a major when he won the PGA Championship in 2021, and he will be hoping to add another major victory to his illustrious career.
