There will be 91 players hoping to end the weekend with a green jacket once the 2026 Masters tees off today.
Defending champion Rory McIlroy is one of 17 prior winners out to add to their closet this weekend. Fred Couples joins the field for the 41st time, but legends Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson won’t be among the azaleas and magnolias. Scottie Scheffler won in 2022 and 2024; he’ll look to keep up the even-year magic despite a disappointing stretch coming into Augusta National.
Justin Rose came close to winning his first Masters last year, losing in a playoff for the second time and coming in as runner-up for the third time. Will this be the year for him, Ludvig Åberg, Brooks Koepka or any of the other players who have come so close to a Masters win before?
