In just under 12 hours the first groupings will head off the tee for the start of the 2025 Masters Tournament.
The world’s best golfers flooded to Augusta, GA, earlier this week – or even late last week – to get a look at the first major tournament of the year at Augusta National. Reigning champion Scottie Scheffler enters as the favorite, but Rory McIlroy is running a close second behind the man who has won two of the last three green jackets.
McIlroy has never won the Masters, needing only that green jacket to complete his grand slam. Nearly a month ago after he won the Players Championship in a Monday playoff over J.J. Spaun, golf influencer Paige Spiranac declared McIlroy would finally win the elusive title.
“Rory to win The Masters. I know but really this year is the year it’s happening,” she declared at the time. Spiranac hasn’t given her official pick for the tournament just yet and it appears she might need a little help deciding who to pick.
On Wednesday, April 9 she took to social media to gather a few thoughts from her fans. “Wednesday at Augusta,” she said in the post before asking her fans, “Who is winning tomorrow?”

In just under two hours her post racked up over 430 comments from her followers – some savory and a few others not.
“Anybody but Rory,” one fan said, going against Spiranac’s pick from March 17.
“You can’t win the Masters on Thursday- but you can lose it. Everyone knows the rules,” said another plainly.
“Dechambeau wins on Sunday!” offered another, who actually made a pick unlike most people.
The Masters tees off with the first group going off at 7:40 a.m. ET.
