Masters Tournament 2025 Live

The Masters Tournament in the season 2025 is being played in Augusta, Georgia, United States of America at the Augusta National Golf Club. The tournament starts at the Thursday, 10th of April and ends at the Sunday, 13th of April 2025.
The Masters Tournament is part of the PGA Tour in the season 2025. In 2025 all players competing for a total prize money of $20,000,000.
The course for the tournament at Augusta National Golf Club plays at Par 72.

The Masters is the first major tournament of the year. It traditionally takes place at Augusta National Golf Club and has the most exclusive field of participants of the four majors. With numerous traditions, from the Champions Dinner to the awarding of the green jacket, the Masters has established a special position among the majors.

Participation in the Masters is by invitation only. The exclusive field comprises 96 players – including numerous Major and Masters winners from different generations. The crème de la crème of golf is represented: In addition to McIlroy and Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and Ludvig Åberg are considered hot contenders for the title. LIV stars such as Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau will also be competing in Augusta.

US Masters 2025: Rory McIlroy’s dream of the green jacket

This week is perhaps more important for Rory McIlroy than for anyone else. The world number two needs to win the Masters to complete his career Grand Slam and finally join the ranks of golf legends. Despite consistently strong performances, the Northern Irishman has been waiting years for another major success. But he seems to be in top form in 2025: he has already won a signature event and the Players Championship. Can he withstand the pressure? Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is pursuing a historic goal: only three players have won twice in a row at Augusta: Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods. Scheffler will give his all to add his name to that list.

OWGR: Jon Rahm out of Top 50

The Genesis Invitational caused some movement in the top 10 of the world rankings. At the top of the world golf rankings, Scottie Scheffler unsurprisingly remains in first place, followed by Xander Schauffele in second, while Rory McIlroy missed out on catching up with Schauffele thanks to a mediocre weekend performance. Ludvig Aberg’s win sees him move up from 6th to 4th place, while Collin Morikawa and Hideki Matsuyama both drop one place as a result. Places 7 to 10 include Wyndham Clark, Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Thomas, who improved from 11th to 9th with a top finish at Torrey Pines, and Tommy Fleetwood, who moved up from 12th to the top 10. Thomas is back in the world’s top 10 for the first time since the spring of 2023.

Further down, Jon Rahm drops out of the top 50 in the world rankings for the first time since 2017. Since his switch to LIV in December 2023, he has missed out on quite a few world ranking points and is ranked 52nd this week. Interestingly, team-mate Hatton, who switched at a similar time, is still successfully holding his own in the top 10 thanks to his excellent record on the DP World Tour, including two victories.

How the OWGR works

The World Golf Ranking lists all professional golfers who have collected world ranking points. It refers to the last two years. Points collected more than two years ago expire at the end of the corresponding calendar week. The player who has the best points average in relation to the number of tournaments played is at the top of the world golf ranking list and not necessarily the player who has collected the most points in absolute terms (points collected: number of tournaments played). The maximum number of tournaments included in the World Golf Ranking is 52. If a player plays more in the relevant scoring period, the last 52 results are counted. The minimum divisor is 40. How many points are awarded for the World Golf Ranking for a tournament depends on the strength of the field taking part.
