The first major of 2024 is upon us,

The 88th Masters will have a field of 89 players, with Akshay Bhatia earning the final spot in the field by virtue of his win at the Valero Texas Open.

The betting favorite is Scottie Scheffler, at a +400 price that harkens to Tiger Woods's dominant years. The 2022 Masters champion is ranked first on the PGA Tour in strokes-gained total and strokes-gained approach and comes in off a T2 in Houston and wins at the Players Championship and Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Speaking of Woods, he'll make a run at a Masters-record 24th consecutive made cut on the fifth anniversary of his 2019 win, and arrived at Augusta National on Sunday for some chipping and putting work. His health and stamina continue to be question marks as he hasn't played since the Genesis Invitational in mid-February. He withdrew early in the second round with an illness.

Jon Rahm is the defending champion, though late last year he left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf and returns here with perhaps a bit less fanfare. Other LIV golfers in the field include past Masters champions Phil Mickelson (T2 last year) and Patrick Reed (T4), as well as Brooks Koepka, who finished T2 alongside Mickelson then took the lessons learned and won the PGA Championship.

And then there's Rory McIlroy, whose major drought is now 10 years. He comes to Augusta with plenty of rounds under his belt and a recent lesson from Butch Harmon. Only the Masters stands between him and the career grand slam. Is this the week?

We'll get answers to all the questions soon.
