Masters 2026: Power rankings for the entire field at Augusta National

Only one player in the last 40 years has taken three weeks off on the PGA Tour before the Masters and won: Adam Scott in 2013. Augusta National Golf Club is the most predictive venue on the tour schedule. Year after year, players who check a handful of particular boxes compete, contend and, ultimately, win.

While we are flooded with trends all week, this small fact really stood out because it captures the core reasons for how we predict winners. Recent form, Masters starts, player schedules, historical data and 2026 results all significantly influence who will don the green jacket. It’s with this in mind that we offer this disclaimer: the 2026 Masters Power Rankings are not a measure of who is the best player in the world; that title still belongs to Scottie Scheffler.

The rankings reflect who has the best chance to contend and eventually make their way to Butler Cabin THIS week. Since nine of the last 10 Masters winners had at least one top-10 finish in their previous three starts, Scheffler is not only battling against time (he has taken three weeks off) but he's also below the standard for recent form. That statement about Scheffler’s chances pretty much sums up the Power Rankings.
