Hard not to go for Scheffler with his current form but I always have a soft spot for Hovland and think he could do well. As a dark horse for this year I’m drawn to Jason Day

I agree Scheffler has to be the talk. Brooks always performs pretty well.

Dark horse I'm going Fleetwood.  It's his turn.

I think Wyndham Clark has been playing well enough that he could top Scheffler, but if I were a betting man, I'd say Scheffler wins. The guys I'm rooting for are Max Homa & (yes hate me) Jon Rahm.

I think Scheffler will win, especially if the change to the spider is going to keep working for him.

Ludvig Aberg would be my dark horse

and I can’t discount the possibility that Rahm could repeat, to give LIV it’s first masters win.

Scheffler is so far superior to the rest of the field I expect him to win at this point. Niemann is in great form and his game is perfect for Augusta.

As a betting man, my money is on Scheffler. But the field appears more wide open than the last few. So many people playing good golf right now could get on a heater and surprise. My dark horse is Xander. He’s been a lurker as of late and he primed to strike.

I do think Rahm has a good shot at going back to back.

I would love to see Tommy Fleetwood win. However, as others have said it hard to look past Scheffler on his current form. 
From Liv, Rahm and Koepka are the obvious threats. 
As much as I’d like to see Rory get his slam, so the talk every year about him and the masters can end, on current form Shane Lowry may be the more likely Irishman to challenge.lol

I would love to see Patrick Reed come in and win.  Peoples heads would explode.

That is some take… 😂

It’s gotta be Scottie vs the field, and I’m leaning towards the former. My dark horse is Aberg (great minds think alike @GolfSpy_BEN) - even though it’s his first, he’s destined to win a couple majors in no time.

It truly is hard to see anyone other than Scottie winning with the form he’s shown so far this year. Brooks can’t be discounted, and while I think he’s a very dark horse candidate, I’m a big Homa fan and would love to see him win. Will Zalatoris would also be cool because who doesn’t love a comeback story?

I'm against the grain here.I think it's going to be a tight top 5, and I'm going with a 2 or 3 way playoff event. 

Zalarotis, Theegala, Schauffele, Morikawa, Lowry

Dark horse is Burns

Agree with you, Rory finally winning would make for a great story.

that being said, Scottie is going to be tough to beat.

From the PGA I would like to see Will Z or Fleetwood. From LIV it’s gonna be a fight from Rahm and Koepka. As much as I can’t get behind rooting for Scottie, I think he will also be in the mix. I just don’t know what it is, but I just can’t root for him, unless it’s the Ryder Cup. Then it’s root for all Americans.

Scotty because he’s just one fire right now for the easy choice. 

Rory is who I hope wins, hasn’t won a Major in such a long time and would be a great golf moment if he does. 

I’m also always pulling for Wyndham Clark. He grew up in the same area I did so I always root for him. Love him or hate him he’s playing great golf. 

Another controversial choice, for LIV I’m going Bryson. If he brings his A game or gets hot he’s so good and fun to watch.

Too many good choices! Scottie is the obvious pick, but there are plenty of other players that have been in good form lately. Augusta brings out the best in these players. 

I saw others saying Xander and Sahith, who I think are both great choices who have been playing well lately. 

I would love to see Max Homa or Willy Z contend, but I'm not overly optimistic with Max's major record and Will's recent inconsistency.

I agree that Augusta plays very nicely to Niemann's game. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes a run.

Regardless of who we think is winning, I CAN'T WAIT!

Tough to bet against Sheffler since he hasn’t shot a round this year over par but my hope is to see Xander or Nick Taylor break through in a major.
