The 89th edition of The Masters is almost upon us and, as ever, it’s shaping up to be utterly compelling.

All eyes are on Rory McIlroy as the on-form Irishman bids to finally win the Green Jacket and become only the sixth player to complete the career grand slam.

McIlroy, won has already won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am as well as The PLAYERS Championship so far this year, is making his 17th start at Augusta National Golf Club where he has recorded seven top-10 finishes to date.

Standing between the four-time major champion and golfing immortality is defending champion Scottie Scheffler.

The world No.1 has won The Masters in two of the last three years but has struggled to find his best form so far in 2025 after having the start to his season delayed by a freak accident on Christmas Day.

A resurgent Viktor Hovland – fresh from winning the Valspar Championship – will also fancy his chances of sealing what would be a first career major, whilst his fellow Scandinavian and Ryder Cup teammate Ludvig Aberg will be out to go one better than last year where he finished runner-up on his major championship debut.

Other storylines to watch out for include two-time champion Bernhard Langer making his farewell to the tournament, the disgraced Angel Cabrera making his return to Augusta for the first time since his release from jail, and 2017 winner Sergio Garcia making the 100th major start of his career.

It promises to be another dramatic, memorable Masters. Here’s a full guide to who’s playing with whom – and when – on the opening day.
