The rankings replicate who has the greatest probability to contend and ultimately make their approach to Butler Cabin THIS week.

In a latest seven-year stretch, Smith had 5 high 10s at the Masters. Two top-eight finishes on LIV Golf in his previous 4 begins due to a bit of bump in his iron sport catches my consideration heading into Augusta National.

Woodland supplied us with the most wonderful story of the yr along with his win in Houston. Although Augusta National has not been a terrific match for his sport, a 14th place in Tampa the week earlier than his Texas win tells us Woodland has one thing nice occurring.
38: Max Homa

Homa solely performed in two of the 4 majors final yr. A twelfth at Augusta in 2025 and a 3rd in 2024 is a pleasant Masters development, however back-to-back missed cuts on the PGA Tour imply he must catch lightning in a bottle as soon as once more down Magnolia Lane.
37: Tyrrell Hatton

Hatton’s sport is constructed for Augusta National. Unfortunately, Hatton has but to seek out that traditional Tyrrell type in 2026. Losing strokes in three of 5 LIV Golf begins isn’t an excellent signal going into the main championship season.
36: Matt McCarty
Age: 28

McCarty shocked us all with a top-15 end at the 2025 Masters. With two straight missed cuts and just one high 25 since Feb. 1, it could actually be a shock if he did it once more.
35: Jason Day

Which J-Day will drive down Magnolia Lane this week? The one who completed sixth at the Texas Children’s Houston Open and eighth at final yr’s Masters? Or the participant who was struggling along with his iron sport in February and early March? You may need a nasty day for those who depend on Jason’s strategy sport an excessive amount of this week.
34: Shane Lowry
Age: 38
Odds to win: +7000
DFS Value: $8,200
Data Golf (OWGR): 30 (32)
Best 2025 main end: The Open, T-40
Masters appearances/cuts made: 10/7
Masters 2025: T-42
Best Masters end: T-3 (2022)
Lowry has slipped in the Power Rankings. With two missed cuts and no end inside the high 40 in golf’s 4 largest occasions, questions must be answered, beginning with a Sunday 81 at Augusta National. This yr, Lowry began nicely, however since his collapse at the Cognizant Classic he’s had two MCs in three begins. The Irishman is a veteran who can simply discover his means once more quick, however first, we’ll need to see 4 strong rounds earlier than he climbs again into the high 20 of those rankings.
33: Harris English
Age: 36
Odds to win: +10000
DFS Value: $7,300

English had a giant yr in the majors in 2025, with runner-up finishes at the PGA and The Open. My recommendation is to maintain his identify quiet round others it’s possible you’ll be competing in opposition to in your native Masters pool.
32: Maverick McNealy
Age: 30
Odds to win: +9600
DFS Value: $7,200

McNealy completed inside the high 40 in all 4 majors final yr. His ball-striking is the same as his prowess on the greens, making him any person to regulate.
31: Nicolai Højgaard
Age: 25
Odds to win: +8400
DFS Value: $7,300
Data Golf (OWGR): 24 (36)
Best 2025 main end: The Open, T-14

Masters 2025: MC
Best Masters end: T-16 (2024)
Four top-six finishes in 9 worldwide begins makes it no shock that he ranks inside the high 10 in strokes gained/complete to this point on the PGA Tour in 2026.
30: Jake Knapp
Age: 31
Odds to win: +6900
DFS Value: $7,300
Data Golf (OWGR): 16 (42)
Best 2025 main end: PGA, MC
Masters appearances/cuts made: 1/1
Masters 2025: DNP
Best Masters end: T-55 (2024)
Knapp ranks first on the PGA Tour in strokes gained/complete in 2026. No, that’s not a typo; he actually is first. He additionally has a Masters begin underneath his belt, so Augusta’s “Alice in Wonderland” impact gained’t be fairly so sturdy. Although his driver could be a weapon, the putter has been the key to Knapp’s consistency this yr. Six top-11 finishes in seven begins means don’t go to sleep on him this week.
29: Patrick Cantlay
Age: 34
Odds to win: +5700
DFS Value: $7,900
Data Golf (OWGR): 18 (34)
Best 2025 main end: Masters, T-36
Masters appearances/cuts made: 9/7
Masters 2025: T-36
Best Masters end: T-9 (2019)
Is Cantlay prepared for Augusta National after a seventh-place end at the Valspar? Tampa was the first time he’s gained strokes on the field in each main class since the 2025 Players! Cantlay has not had a high 10 at Augusta National since 2019, so we gained’t give him the inexperienced jacket but, but when Innisbrook is a paradigm shift in Patrick’s play, our future Power Rankings could have him a lot increased.
28: Viktor Hovland
Age: 28
Odds to win: +4600
DFS Value: $8,800
Data Golf (OWGR): 22 (22)
Best 2025 main end: U.S. Open, 3
Masters appearances/cuts made: 6/5
Masters 2025: T-21
Best Masters end: T-7 (2023)
Hovland has one top-20 end in six Masters begins. He’s additionally struggled along with his driver this yr. That might be OK at Augusta with its broad touchdown areas off the tee, however the brief sport has been a difficulty, too. Hovland has misplaced strokes round the inexperienced in 4 of his final 5 begins. Issues with the driver and wedge clarify why he’s nearly exterior the high 25 on this checklist with all of that expertise.
27: J.J. Spaun
Age: 35
Odds to win: +12000
DFS Value: $7,200
Data Golf (OWGR): 34 (13)
Best 2025 main end: U.S. Open, Won
Masters appearances/cuts made: 2/2
Masters 2025: 50
Best Masters end: T-23 (2024)
Spaun began the yr slowly. A T-24 at the Players and a win at the Valero Texas Open leads me to consider a Spaun sighting on the Augusta National leaderboard is coming this week.
26: Sepp Straka
Age: 32
Odds to win: +6700
DFS Value: $8,000
Data Golf (OWGR): 28 (12)
Best 2025 main end: The Open, T-52
Masters appearances/cuts made: 4/3
Masters 2025: MC
Best Masters end: T-16 (2024)
What’s Straka received to do to win the Masters? He’s not certainly one of the longest gamers in the field, so he should depend on his ball-striking acumen. Ranked seventh on the PGA Tour this season in strokes gained/tee to inexperienced, Straka followers can solely hope the missed minimize final week was simply the former Bulldog overly enthusiastic about getting again to Georgia.
25: Jacob Bridgeman
Age: 26
Odds to win: +9400
DFS Value: $7,400
Data Golf (OWGR): 17 (17)
Best 2025 main end: PGA, U.S. Open, MC
Masters appearances/cuts made: Rookie
Bridgeman is ranked second on tour in SG/complete this season, forward of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy! Bridgeman can also be forward of Scheffler on the strategy rankings and first on the tour in strokes gained/placing. Another Masters rookie who will flip some heads, don’t be shocked if this Clemson grad/South Carolina native makes some critical waves with that wand round Augusta National.
24: Corey Conners
Age: 34
Odds to win: +8000
DFS Value: $7,700
Data Golf (OWGR): 39 (43)
Best 2025 main end: Masters, T-8
Masters appearances/cuts made: 8/6
Masters 2025: T-8
Best Masters end: T-6 (2022)
Conners have to be very targeted on the Masters. Why else would the two-time Valero Texas Open winner skip the journey to San Antonio? His observe report at Augusta National is fairly spectacular; in his final six begins, he has 4 top-10s, together with a T-8 final yr. It is sensible on a course that significantly rewards ball-striking and retains common putters in competition. Come Sunday, I doubt Canada can have any person becoming a member of Mike Weir as a Masters champ, however there’s an excellent probability Conners is in the dialog as soon as once more.
23: Chris Gotterup
Age: 26
Odds to win: +4300
DFS Value: $8,000
Data Golf (OWGR): 26 (9)
Best 2025 main end: The Open 3
Masters appearances/cuts made: Rookie
Gotterup reminds us a bit of little bit of Fuzzy Zoeller. And that’s precisely who he must imitate this week if he’s going to win the inexperienced jacket in his Masters debut. The solely participant with two PGA Tour wins in 2026, Gotterup has taken his sport to a different stage. The solely two venues the place he has “kind of” struggled had been Pebble Beach and TPC Sawgrass. This week will probably be extra like Memorial Park, the place he completed sixth. Quite frankly, he can be inside the high 15 of those Power Rankings if he weren’t preventing the first-timer hex that’s lasted at the Masters for practically 50 years.
22: Akshay Bhatia
Age: 24
Odds to win: +6500
DFS Value: $7,800
Data Golf (OWGR): 19 (20)
Best 2025 main end: The Open, T-30
Masters appearances/cuts made: 2/2
Masters 2025: T-42
Best Masters end: T-35 (2024)
Lefties love Augusta National, and Bhatia is certainly one of two southpaws close to the high of those Power Rankings. Since the WM Phoenix Open, he has gained greater than 9½ strokes complete on common per begin (5 occasions). His scoring has been unbelievable along with his putter and wedges. So why not rank Bhatia higher? He has only one top-30 end in 9 profession main begins. This could also be his time, nevertheless it’s essential to learn one’s résumé earlier than hiring them.
21: Adam Scott
Age: 45
Odds to win: +6200
DFS Value: $7,200
Data Golf (OWGR): 32 (53)
Best 2025 main end: U.S. Open, T-12
Masters appearances/cuts made: 24/21
Masters 2025: MC
Best Masters end: Won (2013)
Never thoughts the age, Scott ranks fifth on strategy in 2026 and twelfth in driving distance. Oddly, although, for a previous Masters champ, the Aussie has not been nice at Augusta National most of the final decade. Can this ball-striking renaissance be the key to contending once more? Many pundits consider that is Scott’s yr to make one other run. Before you guess the farm, have a look at the placing stats. Where Scott has been wonderful on strategy, he has been equally irritating with the broomstick.
20: Brooks Koepka
Age: 35
Odds to win: +3800
DFS Value: $8,500
Data Golf (OWGR): 104 (165)
Best 2025 main end: U.S. Open, T-12
Masters appearances/cuts made: 10/7
Masters 2025: MC
Best Masters end: T-2 (2019, 2023)
During Koepka’s main dominance, he contended a few instances at the Masters. It is sensible: Augusta National combines all of the particular expertise you employ to win every of the different majors. With Koepka’s capability to stay affected person underneath strain, I at all times believed this might be a serious he would seize. Based on his latest ball-striking, Koepka actually can win. Unfortunately, the putter has but to hitch him in his return to the PGA Tour. In six begins since coming again in January, Koepka has misplaced a mean of two strokes per begin with the flatstick.
19: Jordan Spieth
Age: 32
Odds to win: +3800
DFS Value: $8,400
Data Golf (OWGR): 31 (63)
Best 2025 main end: Masters, T-14

Best Masters end: Won (2015)
Warning: You have to be this tall to trip the Spieth curler coaster. And leaping on the trip at Augusta National is a pure adrenaline rush. With three top-12s in his final 5 begins, there are indicators of life. Maybe you needed to see him do higher in San Antonio than make the minimize on the quantity, however it’s what it’s. If all you are wanting for is leisure, then take pleasure in the trip, but when outcomes gas your engagement, then remember Jordan’s main moments is likely to be behind him.
18: Si Woo Kim
Age: 30
Odds to win: +4700
DFS Value: $7,800
Data Golf (OWGR): 15 (30)
Best 2025 main end: PGA, T-8
Masters appearances/cuts made: 8/7
Masters 2025: DNP
Best Masters end: T-12 (2019)
Kim is sixth amongst these in the Masters field in strokes gained/T2G for 2026. Making the minimize in seven of eight profession Augusta begins is extra proof that unbelievable ball-strikers make an impression on the leaderboard. Took a yr off in 2025, however with seven straight top-40 outcomes, and along with his 2026 type, there’s an excellent probability Kim can beat his T-12 greatest end result enjoying at Augusta National; in any case Kim has 4 finishes inside the high six in 9 begins this yr.
17: Min Woo Lee
Age: 27
Odds to win: +5400
DFS Value: $7,700
Data Golf (OWGR): 14 (25)
Best 2025 main end: Masters, 49

Best Masters end: T-14 (2022)
The knock in opposition to Lee has at all times been his strategy play. It’s why, since Augusta National is a second-shot golf course, choosing him to guide on Sunday afternoon didn’t make sense. But in his final 5 begins on tour, he has gained practically 5 strokes along with his iron sport thrice! We all know Lee has loads of ball velocity and the brief sport to contend. While many will probably be fixated on different names in the center of the odds board, the Aussie is likely to be simply the secret weapon you’re looking for.
16: Justin Rose
Age: 45
Odds to win: +3600
DFS Value: $9,100

Masters 2025: P-2
Best Masters end: 2 (2015, 2017, 2025)
In 2025, Rose broke Jack Nicklaus’ report for the most first-round Masters leads with 5. Unfortunately for Rose, Mr. Nicklaus has six inexperienced jackets and the Englishman has three runner-up finishes. Winner at the Farmers in January, Rose has much more type coming in than final yr, when he took Rory McIlroy to further holes. Outside of a latest T-13 at the Players, Rose has to enhance his driver and brief sport earlier than Thursday. Wide fairways will assist off the tee, however gained’t do a lot for his wedge play. Take Rose to guide after Round 1 and restrict your publicity after that.
15: Russell Henley
Age: 36
Odds to win: +4200
DFS Value: $7,900

Best Masters end: T-4 (2023)
Henley has 4 top-10s in his final six main begins. Can he, at 36, win a Masters inexperienced jacket? For each Dustin Johnson that contends round Amen Corner, there’s a Zach (Johnson). Russell wins with precision and endurance, two essential keys to success at Augusta National. The motive Henley’s identify isn’t increased on this checklist is his shaky Augusta historical past. In 9 Masters begins, he has just one top-10. It’s time for this Georgia boy to get a bit of extra comfy in his residence state.
14: Collin Morikawa

Outside of Scottie Scheffler, no participant has extra questions surrounding his 2026 Masters run-up than Morikawa. Having certainly one of his best seasons as a ball-striker, Morikawa’s signature win at Pebble Beach in February was lengthy overdue. Jump to the Players, and Morikawa’s week was cancelled after one gap. Injury considerations are nonetheless circling as he withdrew from the Valero, insisting it was out of precaution. Six journeys to Augusta National and 5 straight top-18 finishes make Morikawa an ideal match, if he’s wholesome.
13: Justin Thomas

Best Masters end: 4 (2020)
Thomas returned from again surgical procedure in November and completed eighth at the Players. Meanwhile, from 2017 to 2022, Thomas contended in six straight Masters. Has that window closed? Not for this world-class participant, however with minimal reps in 2026, a missed minimize, and a T-30 to go together with that top-10 at TPC Sawgrass, you may wait on the two-time main champion. We want the strategy sport to realize some consistency earlier than we will again this Alabama star in Georgia.

He additionally ranks second in strategy and T2G this season. With all of the consideration at the high of the Power Rankings and his latest Sunday slips, there is a chance to take Åberg whereas others are wanting elsewhere.

Guess who’s ranked first T2G (2026) coming into the Masters on the PGA Tour? No, it’s not Scottie Scheffler; it’s Fitzpatrick. Runner-up at the Players, then winner the subsequent week at Valspar, Fitzpatrick is on a roll. Truth be advised, that isn’t a latest run. Since the 2025 PGA, Matt has performed unbelievable golf, incomes two wins and 12 top-10s in 23 worldwide begins.

The 2018 Masters champ is on a mission. Reed has already collected two world wins in 2026, and his most up-to-date begin (Joburg Open) resulted in a Tenth-place exhibiting. Reed completed third final yr at Augusta National and has 4 top-10s in his final six Masters begins. Upon inspection of his DP World Tour begins, Reed is gaining strokes along with his ball-striking AND his placing. That’s a deadly mixture, particularly for a man who is aware of tips on how to win at Augusta National.

He’s the reigning FedEx Cup champ, but Fleetwood didn’t end higher than his T-16 in a serious in 2024. Tommy has two wins and seven top-10s in his final 12 begins, so I’m not attempting to throw you off his scent. Fleetwood has made his final eight cuts in a row at Augusta National and managed a top-three end in 2024. I like Tommy to take residence some crystal this week from the membership. Fleetwood is ranked eighth in the field T2G (2026) and ninth in par-4 scoring. Two traits each Masters champion possesses.

Young has gained strokes on the field along with his flatstick in 18 of his final 22 begins, going all the means again to Magnolia Lane one yr in the past.

Firm circumstances will probably be a theme round Augusta National this week. DeChambeau has an edge when the floor will get tender, however underneath dry circumstances, the strategy sport provides us concern. We know the driver and putter will probably be there, however the irons and his acumen round the inexperienced have a tendency to go away this main champion a few strokes again round Magnolia Lane. Recall the ultimate spherical final yr, DeChambeau having the lead with 16 holes to play and ended up shedding by 4. In that spherical, his irons let him down.

In the final 19 Masters, simply three defending champions have managed a top-10 end the following yr. Can Rory repeat? Jack Nicklaus (1965-66), Nick Faldo (1989-90), and Tiger Woods (2001-02) are the solely ones to do in. The ball-striking McIlroy has proven in 2026 has been nice, and I’m not involved about the again. If he had been to make a run, he would want to scrub up the placing we noticed at the Players. Speaking of the Players, McIlroy is one other favourite who determined to take three weeks off coming into Augusta.

Scheffler is the No. 1 participant in the world. But the Masters rewards latest type, and Scheffler, regardless of the rating, has simply not been pretty much as good as a few different gamers in 2026. Taking three full weeks off earlier than heading to Magnolia Lane, whereas comprehensible with the start of his second son, Remy, nonetheless raises some questions. Augusta National requires your full consideration, and with no top-10s on Scheffler’s résumé since the AT&T Pebble Pro-Am in mid-February, I’m saying, “yes, the field has a chance.”

This is way from a controversial decide; Rahm has been wonderful in 2026 with a win, three runners-up and a fifth place on LIV in 5 begins. He is putting his irons like it’s 2023 once more. You know what he did that yr, gained the Masters. The driver by no means left, and his brief sport is a secret weapon round August. Rahm has by no means missed a minimize at the Masters in 9 begins. If you learn this on Monday, Rahm’s identify could also be a shock at the high, however test again in on Wednesday. By then, that is the solely identify you’ll have heard all week!
