The Masters 2025 key info

The first Major of the year is upon us and, as ever, the stunning Augusta National in Augusta, Georgia plays host. The Golf Monthly team are set to bring you all the latest from the 2025 Masters every step of the way.

Scottie Scheffler managed to secure his second Green Jacket last year with a vintage display of patience and high-quality golf, seeing off a handful of his rivals such as Ludvig Aberg, Max Homa, Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood, and Xander Schauffele over the course of a thrilling weekend.

Augusta National is one of the most famous golfing venues on the planet, designed by Bobby Jones and Alister MacKenzie it has seen much drama over the decades.

Jack Nicklaus has won The Masters on the most occasions with six victories, while Tiger Woods is second with five Green Jackets after he dramatically won his fifth Masters in 2019.

Tiger Woods broke another record - most consecutive cuts at The Masters - to deepen his place in all-time golfing folklore last year but he is not in the 2025 field after recently undergoing surgery on a ruptured achilles tendon.

Every year Rory McIlroy is one of the players that most comes under the microscope – he needs an Augusta victory to complete the career Grand Slam. The Northern Irishman has come close on several occasions, no closer than in 2011 when he led by four shots going into the final round only to lose by ten strokes after a disastrous back nine. He also shot 64 during the final round in 2022 to record his best finish of 2nd behind Scheffler. McIlroy is one of the favorites this year after winning the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Players Championship this year.
