When is the 2025 Masters? Dates, schedule, times, odds, TV channel, streaming for golf's first major.
The Masters will take center stage this April, with the biggest stars in men's golf heading to Augusta National with one objective: to be wearing the legendary green jacket as this year's champion.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler won the Masters last year by four strokes, holding off Sweden's Ludvig Aberg and other challengers to clinch his second win at the tournament, the first of four majors on the calendar. This year, that duo are considered strong contenders to emerge victorious, as are stars like Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy, and Bryson DeChambeau.
The list of invitees to this year's Masters includes 17 former winners, a group that includes the sport's biggest star, Tiger Woods. There are also 17 players who could make their tournament debut among the 88 players in total invited to tee off at this year's event.
