While Rory and Scheffler appear to be playing slightly higher level than anyone else in the world of golf today, you could argue this Masters is as wide open as any in years. Scheffler had multiple wins last year and in 2022 when he won his first Masters and Rahm was in the same boat when he won in 2023.

Scheffler's hopes of an unprecented third consecutive trophy at the PGA Tour's flagship event fizzled out, finishing with a 4-under 284 for the tournament. Braving gusts and sporadic sprinkles, the world's No. 1 golfer carded a 1-over 73 in the final round, entering the clubhouse inside the leading 20 but never threatening a repeat of 2024.
