Masters 2026 Field Rankings: Breaking Down All 91 Contenders at a Wide-Open Augusta
One could argue that this is the most wide-open Masters in recent memory, and here is a ranking of all 91 players in the field at Augusta National.
The 2026 Masters Tournament is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable editions in recent memory, with no clear-cut favorite emerging as the field descends on Augusta National Golf Club. From seasoned champions to hungry young stars, the 91-player field offers a compelling case for nearly a dozen legitimate winners.
At the top of the rankings sit the world's elite, players who combine ball-striking precision with the kind of short-game mastery that Augusta National demands. Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, enters as the consensus top pick given his dominance over the past two seasons, but his margin over the chasing pack is thinner than ever heading into the first major of the year.
Just behind the top tier sits a cluster of major champions and perennial contenders who have all demonstrated the ability to navigate the back nine on Sunday at Augusta. Rory McIlroy, still chasing the career Grand Slam, remains one of the most dangerous players in the field, while past Masters champions like Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson bring invaluable course knowledge and championship pedigree.
The middle tier of the rankings is where the tournament could truly be decided. A wave of ascending young talent — including players who have broken through on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour in the past 12 months — could easily find Augusta National suiting their eye for the first time, producing a surprise champion in the mold of past unlikely winners.
Veterans and seasoned campaigners round out the lower half of the rankings, though dismissing them entirely would be a mistake. Augusta has a long history of rewarding patience, course management, and experience, meaning a player ranked 60th or lower on paper could easily find themselves contending come the weekend.
With the field this wide open, the 2026 Masters promises must-watch drama from the first tee shot on Thursday through the final putts on Sunday afternoon.
