Fifteen Spaniards had the privilege of playing the Augusta Masters Throughout history. From this Thursday, they will be Sixth. Four had the honor to dress up to the total six occasions, besides all, the important Green jacket With the purpose of fighting for the seventh, Augusta National is welcome from Thursday to next week throughout the planet’s golf star.
Among them are four national players. The 2023 champion Jon RahmThe 2017 Champion Sergio Garcíathe two -time champion in 1994 and 1999 José María Olazábal And the debutant in 2025 as the US Open Amateur champion José Luis Ballester They make up the Spanish Payroll of participants from an edition that they have reached with different purposes, but have a maximum illusion for trying to dress up the world’s most important sport.
Ay RahmThrough experience in recent times, which seems to be leading the Spanish bid. It is a good field, with five top10 in eight participation and full of cuts. This year, in addition, it came without the added pressure of being a champion of the protector, something that seemed to ballast to him last year. The end of 2024 was good for him, with a crown in the Liv Circuit, and now he hopes to move him to the Golf Par world efficiency.
It is among the great candidates for the title, even more to know what to wear a green jacket, but the fact is that this is not the only one. In fact, the two names seem to be more than others before the contest: Scottie Scheffler and Rory Mcilroy. For regularity, gallon and performance both in ‘Majors’ and Augusta National, the two seem to be on the pole in the fight for the title.
Scheffler Not only is the current champion, but it has also been an undeniable PGA tour dominator in recent years. He was looking for his third crown, as he also won the Masters in 2022, but most of all he regularly marks differences. He achieved seven PGA tour titles last year and seemed to recover after hand problems marked by the beginning of 2025. He wanted to show it to one of the appointments of the year of Antontonasia.
In it he will try to complete the Grand Slam round Mcilroy. The masters are still missing out on its stunning palmarés and it’s not for it to not touch in recent times. It can be this year’s final for her. Champion to players and with two trophies to this year, he wants to take the most desired steps. Of course, there is a wide payroll of names, such as Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawaa Russell Henley in great time or players that usually perform at large appointments such as Hideki Matsuyama or Dustin JohnsonApart from many others.
The struggle of Spain
Of course, he showed Spain’s golf that could also be a candidate for success and, beyond Jon Rahm, the figure of Sergio García. Castellón, like his Barrika partner in Liv, fought last week until the end for success at the Miami Tournament and proved to have come with modified options in a contest where, after his success in 2017, he was only able to spend a cut, in 2022. The recovery of confidence would be the key to trying to take this year.
That wish for playing the weekend is what they are chasing Txema olazábal and josele ballester. They do this in a variety of situations, because if there is one thing Olazábal is the veteran and the experience to deal with this event, while Ballester’s debuts in Masters at twenty -one and will do so with the goal of becoming the best amateur.
They expect four days of golf in style to a national Augusta that does not allow the masters to win until the end, but can make any error paid very expensive. Each hole will be a world, from 1 to the dreadful amen corner to join holes of 11, 12 and 13. Ninety -nine players facing from Thursday to Sunday to the world’s most demanding contest. Only one dresses a green jacket: Augusta is looking for this weekend in the new ‘teacher’ of golf.
