Crowning of the king of the green

All eyes will be on Scheffler, for obvious reasons. He is the defending champion and his 2024 season was nothing short of remarkable.

- 

He notched up seven PGA Tour victories, including his second Masters title and an Olympic gold medal, and earned nearly US$77 million in prize money and bonuses in a year.

Should he succeed in defending his title, he will join fellow Rolex Testimonee Jack Nicklaus as the only players to have won the prestigious tournament three times in four years.

While Scheffler aims to defend his crown, several other Rolex Testimonees are poised to challenge. Hideki Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters champion, has started the year in fine form, capturing a dominant victory at The Sentry in January.
