In recent years, it's paid to focus on the top players in the world when looking for Masters winners. Straying too far below the top 25 hasn't reaped dividends. A recent win advertising current form has also been popular, and Viktor arrives on the back of winning the Valspar Championship last month. He missed the cut here last year, which followed a Masters best T7 in 2023. I think his game is in a better place now to challenge this year.

Plenty of experience in his mid 30's and is currently sitting at his highest ever world ranking of 7 which advertises his form in the last year. He won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last month and has the perfect temperament for this course having only one missed cut in his previous eight appearances at Augusta. Produced a career best T4 here in 2023 and is very nice odds for a top 8 finish.
