Though one of four majors, The Masters is often considered the most prestigious tournament of the year and is a highlight for many golf fans. The 2026 Masters will be the 90th edition of this tournament and the first major of the season.
The host venue for every Masters ever played is Augusta National Golf Club, designed by Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones. Jack Nicklaus has the most Masters wins with six, and Tiger Woods is right behind him with five. This year, 22 of the 91 players in the field are making their debut at Augusta National. They’re all hoping to achieve what Fuzzy Zoeller did in 1979: winning in their first Masters appearance.
In the 2025 Masters, Rory McIlroy completed the career grand slam by defeating Justin Rose on the first playoff hole with a birdie to earn his first green jacket and first major win since 2014.
About Augusta National Golf Club
Augusta National Golf Club plays 7,565 yards as a par 72. The 18-hole course record is 63, shared by two golfers. Greg Norman’s first round of the 1996 Masters was the most recent time someone shot 63.
As a mainstay of the PGA Tour, Augusta National has a legendary reputation, and golf fans around the world are familiar with several of its most famous holes. “Amen Corner,” holes 11-13 that earned this nickname during Arnold Palmer’s performance on them in 1958, will play a crucial role in who is putting on the green jacket come Sunday night, just like they did in the final round of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur last week.
Who to Watch at the 2026 Masters
McIlroy will look to defend his title against a star-studded field. We predict Cameron Young will pick up his first career major win. He won The Players Championship in his last start and has two other top-10 finishes at the Genesis Invitational and the Arnold Palmer Invitational this season. He also has two career top-10 finishes at The Masters in 2023 and 2024.
