Hideki brings one of the strongest Augusta-specific stat profiles in the field.

• 1ST on PGA TOUR in scrambling
• 15TH in SG: Approach
• 17TH in SG: Tee-to-Green

~11.3% bogey avoidance + elite short game gives him one of the highest floors at this number.

Reed’s short game and Augusta experience create one of the safest placement floors.

• Top 20 in 6 of last 8 Masters (including win)
• Top 10 in 4 of last 5 events entering
• Elite scrambling profile

Augusta rewards creativity and recovery, Reed thrives in both. Experience edge matters here. My #1 pick has crushed his projection in back-to-back Masters tournaments.

Rahm brings elite scoring and recovery, two of the most important Augusta traits.

• 1ST on LIV in GIR (82.2%)
• 4TH in scrambling (73.4%)
• 1ST in birdies per round (5.80)

Masters champion with 311.6 driving distance (4TH LIV). Ball-striking + birdie ceiling profile fits Augusta perfectly.

Xander’s balance and consistency are exactly what Augusta demands.

• 14TH on PGA TOUR in SG: Approach
• 6TH in scrambling
• Top 15 in SG: Tee-to-Green

310+ off the tee with ~12% bogey avoidance. Elite stability over four rounds is why he lives inside top 10s here.

Scottie Scheffler’s complete tee-to-green dominance still projects as the strongest profile in the field at Augusta.

• 3RD on PGA TOUR in SG: Total (~+2.8 per round)
• 6TH in SG: Tee-to-Green
• 3RD in Par 5 Scoring (4.36)

He also averages 309.9 yards off the tee and owns ~11.5% bogey avoidance (elite tier). Even with a slight dip in iron play, his floor + course history make top 5 extremely live.
