Folks, buckle up! This week, a full 10 LIV Golf stars are teeing off at the 2026 Masters Tournament at the hallowed Augusta National. The iconic 7,512-yard (6,869-meter) Par-72 course will once again fray nerves with its lightning-fast greens and a layout that turns every shot into a science. The 10 LIV guys have a clear mission: to bag the first major title of 2026 for the league. The pressure is real!
Rahmbo on the Title Hunt
Jon Rahm is back at Augusta National in top form! His best Masters finish: a victory in 2023. His current form: It's really strong: 2nd at LIV Golf South Africa, 5th at Aramco LIV Golf Singapore, and 1st at HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong. After Rahm had already started his LIV Golf season strongly with two runner-up finishes in Riyadh and Adelaide, he finally claimed victory in Hong Kong, ending an 18-month drought. Now the Spaniard returns to Augusta – in top form, the best he's been in since his Green Jacket in 2023.
The captain of Legion XIII is, by the way, ranked number 1 in LIV Golf this season for Strokes Gained: Approach and number 3 for Strokes Gained: Off the Tee. So things are looking good! Although his putter has been hot and cold, he has only lost strokes putting once in his measured starts at Augusta National. If Rahm wins this week, he would be the only Spaniard besides legends Seve Ballesteros and José María Olazábal with multiple Masters victories. Ballesteros claimed his second Green Jacket three years after his first – precisely the feat Rahm now aims to repeat. Pure drama!
DeChambeau Has Cracked the Code
Bryson DeChambeau arrives in Augusta in spectacular form! His best Masters finish was T5 in 2025. His recent results: Two consecutive victories: 1st at LIV Golf South Africa and 1st at Aramco LIV Golf Singapore, plus a T24 at HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong.
After Bryson struggled somewhat in the Masters during the first seven years of his professional career, he now seems to have finally cracked the code for Augusta National. The captain of Crushers GC finished T6 in 2024 and even T5 in 2025. Both times, he was firmly in contention for the title for long stretches! As expected, he is once again in a class of his own off the tee: leading the league with 1.01 Strokes Gained per round. His putting has also been really strong this season, which makes him perfect for the firm and fast greens at Augusta. He has gained strokes on the green in the last two Masters seasons – a key reason why his results there have dramatically improved. Clearly: DeChambeau is a legitimate contender for his third major title. Things are happening!
