Why 2 trends point to Cameron Young winning the 2026 Masters

Golfer Cameron Young could be on the way to winning his first Masters Tournament if these two trends hold true. The past two Masters winners, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy , won The Players Championship before taking the green jacket in Augusta. Young was the most recent Players winner and holds a co-lead heading into Sunday's final Masters round alongside McIlroy.

Also, Young is in the final pairing with McIlroy for Sunday's close. Each Masters winner since 2017 has been in the final pairing. If both of those trends hold, Young should be the favorite for Sunday's final round.

Trends are made to be broken, but all signs point toward Young pulling out in front and winning his first green jacket.
