First played in 1934 the US Masters is the only one of golf’s four majors to always be played at the same venue - Augusta National Golf Course, in the American state of Georgia.
This year’s competition will be played from April 9-13 and is the first Major of 2026.
Last year saw Rory McIlroy become only the sixth player to complete the career grand slam after winning a playoff against fellow Ryder Cup player Justin Rose.
Both will be back this year, but there’s going to be fierce competition.
Here are the 12 favourites to take the trophy - according to the bookies’ odds.
