Players to Watch
For the first time since he was 20 years old, Tiger Woods isn't ranked in the top 100 in the World Golf Ranking, but he's still the most polarizing figure in the sport. Any tournament he plays, he'll be the one to watch.
When we're talking Augusta National and the first major of the year, that concept is all the more true. Attempting to rebound from an injury-plagued 2014 season, Woods has put in a wealth of work to get himself ready to contend and compete on a high level again.
Per Bob Harig of ESPN.com, Woods said: "People would never understand how much work I put into it to come back and do this again. It was sunup to sundown, and whenever I had free time; if the kids were asleep, I'd still be doing it, and then when they were in school, I'd still be doing it. So it was a lot of work."
Will the hard work pay off? We'll have the first part of our answer on Thursday.
Rory McIlroy
The current world No. 1 is the favorite, per Odds Shark, but Rory McIlroy hasn't had his best rounds at Augusta. It's the only major he hasn't won, and his best finish has been tied for eighth.
While each tournament is different, you can't ignore McIlroy's struggles at Augusta. Can he finally win his first green jacket to complete the career Slam?
After such a strong finish to 2014, a win at the Masters would further solidify him as the man to beat on the tour.
Jordan Spieth
At 21 years old, Jordan Spieth is already one of the world's best players. He finished tied for second last year at Augusta, but Spieth wants to win the green jacket this year.
He's already won on tour this year, having captured the Valspar Championship last month. Since then, Spieth has been the runner-up in his last two tournaments. In fact, he has six top-10 finishes in nine entries. Spieth is seemingly headed for a huge season, as he appears to be gaining momentum at the right time.
Without question, winning the Masters would vault Spieth into the next stratosphere and put him on the fast track toward superstardom.
