Can Anyone Halt Rory and Scottie's Momentum at the Masters?

As the Masters approaches, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are looking to capitalize on their recent successes at Augusta National, but which golfers are most likely to challenge them for a major victory? The duo has dominated the Masters, with Scheffler winning in 2022 and 2024, and McIlroy claiming the career Grand Slam last year. Despite Scheffler's recent slump, finishing outside the top 10 in his last three PGA Tour starts, he remains the pre-tournament favorite due to his impressive record at Augusta National. McIlroy, on the other hand, is bidding to become the first player since Tiger Woods to win back-to-back Masters titles. Ahead of the tournament, Sky Sports Golf pundits predict that Justin Rose, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Cameron Young could be strong contenders. Rose's form this season and his win at the Farmers Insurance Open make him a top pick, while Fitzpatrick's recent victory and temperament make him a dark horse. Young's win at The Players has elevated him to the top tier, and he could be poised for a major breakthrough. Other players, such as Ludvig Åberg, Bryson DeChambeau, and Bob MacIntyre, are also looking to make a mark at the Masters. With wall-to-wall coverage on Sky Sports, fans can catch all the action from the opening round on Thursday.
