This week’s field includes:
The field includes 67 of the top-100 and only 43 of the top 50 in the latest Official World Rankings. Last year they had 50 of the top-50 in the field, but because they are using the field list from last April’s Masters, these players did well after the COVID-19 break and did not receive an invite for this week’s Masters: #13 Daniel Berger, #23 Viktor Hovland, #31 Ryan Palmer, #35 Harris English #40 Sergio Garcia, #42 Joaquin Niemann, (Both Garcia and Niemann were in the field and withdrew due to COVID) and #48 Mackenzie Hughes. Most of these players will be exempt and invited to play in the Masters next April
The field includes only 9 of the top 25 on the FedEx point standings for 2021. Those players are #1 Bryson DeChambeau, #3 Patrick Cantlay #4 Jason Kokrak, #5 Matthew Wolff, #11 Xander Schauffele, #13 Justin Thomas, #15 Hideki Matsuyama, #17 Dustin Johnson and #19 Jon Rahm.
Those top-25 that are not playing this week includes: #2 Stewart Cink, #6 Sergio Garcia, #7 Carlos Ortiz, #8 Martin Laird, #9 Hudson Swafford, #10 Brian Gay, #12 Peter Malnati, #14 Tyler McCumber, #16 Wyndham Clark, #18 Harry Higgs, #20 Russell Henley, #21 Mackenzie Hughes, #22 Austin Cook, #23 Talor Gooch, #24 Doc Redman and #25 James Hahn.
The field includes 16 past champions: Tiger Woods (1997, 2001, ’02, ’05 & ’19), Patrick Reed (2018), Danny Willett (2016), Jordan Spieth (2015), Bubba Watson (2012 & ’14), Adam Scott (2013), Charl Schwartzel (2011), Phil Mickelson (2006, ’04 & ’10), Zach Johnson (2007), Mike Weir (2003), Vijay Singh (2000), Jose Maria Olazabal (1999 & ’94), Bernhard Langer (1993 & ’85), Fred Couples (1992), Sandy Lyle (1988) and Larry Mize (1987).

Who to watch for at the Masters
Best Bets:
Dustin Johnson
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T2 | T10 | T4 | T6 | CUT | T13 | T38 | T38 | T30 |
He is playing the best golf and if he gets a bit lucky he will win this week. He is playing about the same as he was in 2017 when he hurt himself on the eve of the Masters. He is a man with a purpose and that is to win another major. In his last six starts has a win, three runner-ups and a total of six top-six finishes.
Brooks Koepka
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T2 | T11 | T21 | T33 |
I think in the course of this preview I have laid out by thinking on Brooks, and it should start with: “beware of the injured golfer.” Yes he has been hurting most of the year, but it seems that the hurt stop a few weeks back and after he shot 65-65 over the weekend at Houston I knew the writing was on the wall, Brooks will contend this year.
Xander Schauffele
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T2 | T50 |
Have been very impressed with his game since the break, he can win this week. Only played Augusta twice, was T-2nd last year and T-50th in 2018. His game is perfect for Augusta
Best of the rest:
Jon Rahm
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T9 | 4 | T27 |
Has won on two tough courses at the Memorial and BMW Championship. That and the fact that he has played well at the Augusta, was 4th at the Masters in 2018 and T-9th last year. His 29 under on the Par 5s in his 12 rounds is also impressive.
Justin Thomas
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T12 | T17 | T22 | T39 |
He has been up and down all year, still that could be good as he goes under the radar scope this week. The thing that worries me the most is his record at Augusta is not the best, in four starts his T-12th last year is his best.
Patrick Cantlay
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T9 | CUT | T47 |
Game finally came around with his win at Zozo Championship
Jason Day
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T5 | T20 | T22 | T10 | T28 | T20 | 3 | WD | T2 |
Again we say beware of the injured player. The key for Day is to be healthy again. Augusta is a course he always plays well on in nine starts been in the top-10 four times including a T-2nd in 2011, 3rd in 2013 and T-5th last year.
Solid contenders
Rory McIlroy
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T21 | T5 | T7 | T10 | 4 | T8 | T25 | T40 | T15 | CUT | T20 |
Ok, Rory has disappointed us all year even though his game wasn’t that bad. We know he can regain all the magic in a heartbeat, maybe that week is this week. Looking for that one win in the Masters to complete the Grand Slam. Has been in the top-ten in five of his last six starts, best was 4th in 2015. One thing in his favor, he was T-8th at the U.S. Open.
Webb Simpson
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T5 | T20 | CUT | T29 | T28 | CUT | CUT | T44 |
Parts of his game shows that he could be good at Augusta, hits a lot of greens, good scrambler and plays well on the par 5s. Was T-5th in last year’s Masters.
Tony Finau
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T5 | T10 |
One of those guys that can surprise us at the Masters, was T-5th last year and T-10th in 2018. Has played well in the last three months, best was T-3rd at the 3M Open.
Tiger Woods
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | T32 | T17 | T4 | T40 | T4 | T4 | T6 | 2 |
Purely a sentimental choice. Augusta is probably the only major course he can contend on, hasn’t been in contention since winning the Zozo a year ago
Long shots don’t win the Masters, best rookies with a chane:
Matthew Wolff
2020 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 |

Like the fact that he was 2nd at the U.S. Open and T-4th at the PGA Championship. Be interesting to see how his game fits at Augusta, his length will help him a lot.

Can give it some stick and putts well, he could surprise us all.

has made the cut in his three Masters starts, but in all of them he didn’t hit the ball well into the greens and could have a tough time on the greens. Sorry you just don’t go spanking the ball at Augusta and get away with it.

Was 5th at the Masters in 2015 and T-7th in 2016 and has been playing well of late. His problem, his game is good from tee to green, but has a tough time on the greens.

He will be considered the best of the Masters rookies. But his game hasn’t been sharp since winning the PGA Championship and he is not a great putter which could haunt him this week at the Masters.
Sal, that’s a magnificent preview. I enjoyed that so much and I learned things as well which is awesome for an avid golf fan.
I have a question, will the rain make the greens receptive? I’m aware they have lots of control over the greens at Augusta but if they are receptive it changes things a lot I think.
Tom,
It all depends on how much rain the greens get. If it’s just a drizzle they can still keep the greens firm enough and Quick. If they get a steady rain, they can draw the wettness but the greens will still be wet which means soft and will lose speed and some of the sharp breaks you see when they are dry and firm. Another effect that could happen on shots from the fairway is the skipping effect in which it’s hard for the ball to dig into the wettness and has a skipping effect, looking like a poor shot into a green that bounces over the green. Even though caddies are good in keeping clubs clean and dry, sometimes in a shot water will get between the club and ball at impact which will create a knuckle ball effect, which players can’t control the spin of the shot and this isn’t good.
On the whole rain is mostly a friend for players, it does make the course longer but they don’t have to worry about teeshots bouncing into rough, something that happens on firm fairways. And in most cases the greens are like you say receptive to shots and putts are easier with the speed reduce.
In looking at the forecast
https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/bbca42712170a9e1fbb4e9d12b62d9f488c314a9bb06b3303b7964f54c018dca
it looks like rain is going to hit today starting about 2pm and be steady throughout the night and be 90% chance through noon. It will get better in the afternoon and go away by 2pm. Friday and Saturday should be ok, but rain will hit again on Sunday morning. So it could be a wet Masters and we need to see who are the “mudders” out there, those that play well in rain and poor conditions.
