The Masters has returned, with Scottie Scheffler seeking a successful title defence at Augusta National.

Scheffler has been compared to a ‘handyman’ ahead of his next appearance at The Masters, which he won in 2022 and 2024.

The 2025 Masters once again sees many PGA Tour stars compete side-by-side with LIV Golf icons, with 12 from the latter tour involved this week.

That includes social media star Bryson DeChambeau and three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson, along with current LIV Golf leader Joaquin Niemann.

Tee times and pairings for rounds one and two have now been confirmed, with the countdown to the first shot now underway.

And with that, plenty of predictions have arrived, with the DP World Tour asking a long list of famous faces who they think will win The Masters.

Among them were Bryan Bros Golf, comprising George and Wesley Bryan, who replied: “Umm since BRT isn’t playing, I’m going to go with Scottie Scheffler!”

Their fellow social media star Luke Kwon meanwhile went with a LIV Golf player, simply responding: “Joaquin Niemann.”

A whole host of other golfing personalities also made their predictions for Augusta this week, with Fat Perez saying: “I like Rory – his game is trending and I thnk he finally gets it done.”

Paige Spiranac concurred: “I’ve said it every year but I’m saying it again… Rory!” with Fore Bros agreeing: “Our vote is with Rory.”

Golf Life’s Tube and Ange said: “Bobby McIntyre,” while Jimmy Bullard wrote: “Can’t see past Bryson, Scheffler but I hope Rory does it, he has a spring in his step after winning Sawgrass.”

Dude Perfect noted: “Bryson DeChambeau. Lock it in,” as Peter Finch responded: “Rory, if not I’m getting a tent and moving to the woods to contemplate life’s myriad cruelties and why I always get so invested every year only to have my heart broken.”

Several sporting stars also shared their verdicts, with Formula One icon Carlos Sainz saying: “Rory McIlroy or Jon Rahm,” with a less serious Lando Norris noting: “All the Brits joint win after all scoring equal after 9 hole playoff.”
