Rory McIlroy
Of course we start with world number 1 Rory McIlroy, who is looking to complete his Grand Slam at Augusta with his first ever Green Jacket. Finishing 8th last year, the Northern Irishman will be desperate for this win to join golf's elite, but in order to do so the 25 year old will need to be on top form as there are plenty of others hungry for the win. Although everything has yet to click for Rory, with his skill you have to say he is a definite contender, but below are four more players who will be vying for the title at Augusta.
Jordan Spieth
Runner-up last year on his Masters debut, Jordan Spieth will be desperate to go that extra step and claim the title this year. The 21 year old showed his talent last year, and is on good form, recently finishing runner up twice and also winning the Valspar Championship. The youngster is one heck of a putter, and his clinical edge could see him all the way to the victory this year,
Bubba Watson
It would be criminal to leave out the man who has won this competition twice in three years. In recent competitions he has been in good form, and even though he has hasn't played in a month, big Bubba always seems to bring his best golf out at Augusta, and there is no reason why he won't be right up there now that he is familiar with the spotlight.
Justin Rose
2013 US Open champion Justin Rose will not be the front-runner for the Green Jacket in many people's minds. He tends not to do very well at Augusta, and has missed three cuts in his last five events. However, with such little pressure on him maybe Justin can show the form that won him his first and only major. We know he is a bit of a wildcard, but we'll certainly be keeping an eye on him.
Jimmy Walker
Now we come to our favourite, the man that we think will win The Masters, Jimmy Walker. On great form with his fifth US PGA tour victory in 18 months coming at the Texas Open, Jimmy is a genuine contender thanks to his finesse and winning habit. 8th place on his Masters debut last year and three top 10s in the 2014 majors, we think Jimmy will show another level to his game this year, so we are tipping the 36 year old to claim victory in the 2015 Masters.
