Two-time U.S. Open champion Curtis Strange kicked off ESPN’s annual Masters media call on Monday by pointing out that the top two players in the world are sucking up most of the oxygen in the room. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy already has won twice, including the Players Championship just a couple of weeks ago, and looks as poised as ever to end his 11-year major drought and complete the career Grand Slam at Augusta National next week. Scottie Scheffler may be winless this season, but he’s not far removed from last year’s brilliance and having won the Masters two of the last three years, he remains the man to beat.
Place your bets: Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy vs. the field at the 2025 Masters?
