Masters 2025 weather forecast: Will it rain this year at Augusta National?

Augusta National Golf Club welcomes a star-studded field of the world’s top golf players for the 89th edition of the Masters, which tees off on Thursday.

Among the 96 players who have been invited to this year’s event, are defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy - fresh from his victory at the Players Championship, previous winners and runners-up: Jon Rahm and Hideki Matsuyama, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth , Collin Morikawa, Ludvig Aberg, Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau...

World number one Scheffler starts out as the big favorite at +450. Scottie could make history by becoming the fourth player to win back-to-back titles - if he wins he will join illustrious company: Tiger Woods (2001, 2002), Nick Faldo (1989, 1990) and Jack Nicklaus (1965, 1966).
