Can Anyone Halt Rory and Scottie's Dominance? Sky Sports Experts Weigh in on Masters Favorites

As the world's top golfers gather at Augusta National, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are poised to continue their impressive streaks, but other contenders are ready to challenge them for the coveted Green Jacket. Scheffler, the pre-tournament favorite, is seeking his fifth major title in five years, despite a recent slump in his last three PGA Tour starts. McIlroy, meanwhile, is aiming to become the first player since Tiger Woods to win back-to-back Masters titles. The Sky Sports Golf pundits have shared their predictions, with some tipping Justin Rose as a dark horse contender due to his impressive form this season. Rose has already secured a win on the PGA Tour and has finished runner-up at Augusta National three times, including last year's dramatic playoff loss to McIlroy. Other experts are backing Matt Fitzpatrick, who won his last tournament and has a strong record at The Masters, and Cameron Young, who recently claimed victory at The Players. Ludvig Åberg and Bob MacIntyre are also being touted as potential underdogs who could make a deep run in the tournament. With wall-to-wall coverage beginning on Thursday, fans can catch all the action on Sky Sports Golf, including Featured Group action and regular updates from around the course.
