The dominant figures entering the 2026 Masters are reigning champion Rory McIlroy and two-time champion Scottie Scheffler from the PGA Tour, along with Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm, who have been playing exceedingly well for LIV Golf.
Beyond those stars, the field for the first major of the season is deep with talent eyeing a coveted green jacket. That includes several players still looking to capture their first major championship, figures who would love to etch their names in Masters history and earn a permanent spot in the field each April at Augusta National Golf Club.
There have been 38 players who won their first major title at the Masters, and the variety — in terms of player profiles — makes it fascinating to try and project who could break through and become the 39th.
There are young players like Scheffler and Tiger Woods, who find quick comfort with the challenges of Augusta National and win early in their careers. Others, like Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia, spend more than a decade coming painfully close to tasting major success and then finally have it all click in that magical week amidst the Georgia pines.
Entering the 2026 Masters, 10 notable players are seeking their first major championship, and their names should be on your radar as legitimate threats coming into Augusta National.
