Rahm has been dominant in 2026 with a win, three runner-up finishes and a fifth-place result in just five LIV starts, combining elite iron play reminiscent of his 2023 Masters-winning form. He’s never missed a cut there in nine appearances.
Xander Schauffele continues to thrive at Augusta, finishing inside the top 10 in five of eight starts thanks to his all-around strokes gained excellence, and his 2026 results — fourth at the Valspar, third at The Players,and seventh at The Genesis.
Despite being the world No. 1, Scheffler’s 2026 performances haven’t quite matched others at the top and a three-week break before Augusta adds another layer of unpredictability.
As for McIlroy, history isn’t on his side when it comes to repeating as champion—something only Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods have accomplished. But, his ball-striking in 2026 has been sharp enough to at least contend again.
