Scottie Scheffler, the world number one, is the clear favorite to win the Masters tournament due to his recent impressive form. With a run of 1st-1st-2nd in his last three tournaments, including a win in the Players, Scheffler arrives at the tournament after a week's break.

Unquestionably, Scottie Scheffler – at this time and in this place – is the favourite. The 2022 champion has arrived into this week fresh off a week’s break and with a run of 1st-1st-2nd on his last three tournament outings, which included a win in the Players Championship. If not quite Tiger-esque just yet, such a form line is reminiscent of how Tiger Woods, year on year, came and conquered.
And, also, two Irishmen. Rory McIlroy for one. Shane Lowry for two. Both Major winners in their own right, but not at this place. Of learning from past failings, McIlroy observed: “I would say not trying to win it from the first tee shot. I think that’s something that I’ve tried to learn. It’s a 72-hole golf tournament. I’ve won from 10 strokes back going into the weekend. There’s loads of different ways to do it.
