The Masters 2023: Ranking the favorites, contenders and hopefuls

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Masters week is finally here and there will be plenty of storylines in the first major championship of the season, which tees off Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club.

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler will try to become the first back-to-back winner at the Masters in more than two decades. Rory McIlroy will once again attempt to complete the career grand slam, and Tiger Woods will give it another go after making the cut for the 22nd straight time last year.

And, of course, there are 18 players from the LIV Golf League in the 88-player field for the 87th Masters.
