2026 Masters Tournament: Schedule, Players, and How to Watch

The 90th edition of the Masters Tournament is scheduled to take place from April 9 through April 12, 2026, at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. This year’s event marks a significant shift in the professional landscape, as players from the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf will compete together in the same field for the first time in 2026.

Key Contenders and Storylines

World No. 1 and two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler enters the tournament as the betting favorite. Scheffler is seeking his third green jacket during this appearance.

Rory McIlroy, the 2025 champion, aims to secure two consecutive victories. McIlroy completed a career Grand Slam by winning his first green jacket in 2025, though reports indicate he has not appeared as sharp early in 2026 and is currently managing a back injury.

Bryson DeChambeau arrives at Augusta National in strong form, having won the previous two LIV Golf events. DeChambeau is competing for his first Masters title. Other notable past winners in the field include Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth.
