1. Bubba Watson: Forget what Vegas tells you. Watson is the favorite at Augusta. He's playing too well and has too much in the bank here to not be. He would join Jack Nicklaus as one of only two golfers to win three green jackets in four years.
2. Rory McIlroy: He only has one top 10 here ever and, crazily, it wasn't in 2011. The culprit? Monster scores at some of the mos inopportune times.
3. Jordan Spieth: This is going to sound completely insane, but the 2015 Masters might run through Spieth. I don't mean that he's going to win. I do mean that he's going to post a certain number and you're going to have to flat out play better golf than him to take the jacket.
Spieth isn't the best player in the field, and his best won't be good enough if certain other golfers have their best stuff. But if Watson and McIlroy falter, we could all be in for the Spieth train demolishing everything in sight next weekend.
4. Jason Day: He has been quiet since winning Torrey Pines, but Day has two top five finishes in his last three completed outings at Augusta. I think he's going to have a big tournament.
5. Jimmy Walker: The Marc Gasol of the PGA Tour. Criminally underrated, but I'm not sure whether he can win the big one.
6. Patrick Reed: Semi-surprised Reed didn't skip the final round of the Houston Open to try and compete with the kids at the Drive, Chip & Putt at Augusta on Sunday. You know that's something he'd try and win.
7. Dustin Johnson: He should be in the top 10 here every year. The fact that he isn't means I should probably have him lower. And yet, the allure of his driver is too much for me to stave off.
8. Adam Scott: I'm not thrilled with the putter flip-flop, but he'll be a heck of an out here for the next 5-10 years. If I'm betting an Australian, though, it's not him.
9. Henrik Stenson: Getting into "now or never" time with the Swedish assassin at majors.
10. Matt Kuchar: Top eight here in each of the last three seasons. I know he knows the course, I just don't know if he has the goods to shut it down on a Sunday in a loaded up field like this one.
11. Lee Westwood: The best golfer over the last five years here. I'm not sure I can see him winning it, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was in one of the final three groups on Sunday.
12. Sergio Garcia: Does anyone on the planet (including Sergio) truly think he will win the 2015 Masters. Like, if somebody put a gun to your head and said, "Give me the winner," none of the seven billion folks on the planet (including his family members) would say "Sergio!" And yet, he still has to be in the top 15.
13. Phil Mickelson: Lefty has become such a temptress at Augusta. He'll think he can win this until he's 65 even if he probably only has one or two more good runs in him. That being said, I'd be floored if he missed two straight cuts. I just don't think that's in play here.
14. Justin Rose: Rose has been brutal so far in 2015 (more on that here). I think I can count on him at Augusta, though. I think.
15. Rickie Fowler: I hem and haw over Fowler as much as anyone in the field. He hasn't been very good so far this year (strokes gained putting and greens in regulation have both been atrocious), but he was also not very good coming into the Masters last season and nearly won the thing.
16. Brooks Kopeka: He'll play well here if he's healthy. Since he had a dislocated rib at the Arnold Palmer Invitational a few weeks, that's sort of a big if.
17. Jim Furyk: Jimbo always plays sort of well here but hasn't truly contended in years. He'll make the cut, finish top 20 and move on to the next one (so, like every other tournament but with more money involved).
18. Kevin Na: Did he finish T12 a few years ago? Yes, he did. Is he secretly one of the hottest golfers on tour right now? Yes, he is. Am I picking him to win? No, I am not.
19. Ian Poulter: Top 20 in three of his last five trips to Augusta. Top 10 in two of his last five. The man loves a show.
20. Louis Oosthuizen: I'm not as high on him as Shane Bacon (who nearly proposed to Oosthuizen on a podcast), but he's been sneaky good this season. He has a track record here, too, having almost won in 2012.
21. Brandt Snedeker: He's one of four or five guys in the field who could get hot with the putter for 72 holes and just put this thing away. I'm not sure he has the length if that doesn't happen.
22. Martin Kaymer: The major I have the least confidence Kaymer will win. Augusta famously inspired his big swing change a few years ago. He's missed two straight cuts.
23. Ryan Moore: I'm in. Let's do this. He's been playing great golf and has made three of his last four cuts here.
24. Billy Horschel: Billy Ho can go a little bit, and he's coming into the tournament under the radar. He strikes it with the best. It will all depend on his flat stick.
25. Charl Schwartzel: He hasn't finished in the top 20 since winning it in 2011.
26. Hideki Matsuyama: Bring me all of your Hideki hate. I want it all. Also, can I get one of my 38 Masters channels tuned to every single one of his swings?
27. Angel Cabrera: His son's car accident will be heavy on his heart. Still, in the last three odd-numbered years, Cabrera has gone 1, 7, 2 at this tournament.
28. Fred Couples: His Saturday scores in the last four years have been bad (73, 77, 75 and 72). If he can fix that, you never know.
29. Geoff Ogilvy: He has never finished outside the top 40 here and hasn't even qualified the last two years.
30. Gary Woodland: He hits it forever. Woodland might not be able to pour a putt into a basketball hoop in certain weeks, but you have to take him seriously here.
31. Bill Haas: Led after the first round last season and has finished T20 each of the last two years, which sums up his career nicely. Still, Haas gets the nod on the age-old question of,"Would you rather be Bill Haas or Ben Curtis?"
32. Keegan Bradley: I love Bradley as a golfer. I don't love him at this tournament. He's never sniffed the top 25.
33. Zach Johnson: He doesn't have a single top 15 finish since winning it in 2007.
34. Ryan Palmer: This seems like a good spot for Palmer. He missed the tournament in 2014 and 2013, missed the cut in 2012 and finished 10th in 2011.
35. Miguel Angel Jimenez: He'll serve red wine with a side of white wine at the champion's dinner next season if he wears green this year.
36. Hunter Mahan: He's all or nothing here. In his last six events, he has three top 12s. He also has two missed cuts.
37. Victor Dubuisson: I've mellowed on the Frenchman a bit even though he posted top 10s at each of the last two majors in 2014. I think he can make the cut here but not contend (I might be in a witness protection program this time next week).
38. Trevor Immelman: He'll play truly terrible golf, then the Masters will start, an event at which he's only missed two cuts since 2004.
39. Thomas Bjorn: Like one of Miguel Angel Jimenez's wines, he keeps getting better with age. Scored a top 10 last year. I'd be surprised if he played that well this year, though.
40. Brian Harman: Let's talk. Lefties at Augusta. He went to UGA. He's one of the most confident dudes on tour. My only issue is that he doesn't hit it very far (142nd on tour).
41. Ernie Els: Big Easy still thinks he can take home a green jacket. History tells us 45-year-olds aren't prone to such things. He finished T13 two years ago.
42. Chris Kirk: He finished T20 last season and recently had a top 10 at the Texas Open. Secretly a fun long shot pick for Augusta.
43. Russell Henley: One of 289 former Georgia Bulldogs in the field. I'm in on Henley. I think he's going to have a really fun career.
44. Jamie Donaldson: Finished T14 in his first cut made last year. We know he likes daggers.
45. J.B. Holmes: I'm intrigued by Holmes at Augusta. He hits it forever but hasn't ever played well here. Still, he comes in hotter than most.
46. Marc Leishman: He has played exceptionally here in the past. His wife has fallen ill recently, so he might not be up to top form.
47. Padraig Harrington: Finished in the top 10 here just three seasons ago. Still, he's not getting younger, and he's almost definitely going to outthink himself at some point.
48. Paul Casey: He's found form of late, but contention here would be a real stunner. This leads for tweet of the week before the Masters.
49. Branden Grace: Won Qatar earlier this season, but I'm not enthralled. Everybody in this 40-60 range is just blah.
50. Sang Moon Bae: It won't be a "vacay" for the South Korean. He's played well this year but never finished better than 30th at Augusta.
51. Luke Donald: He's had an up and down year and hasn't really contended recently at the Masters. I'm more likely to pick him next year once he gets his swing back under control (switched back to his old swing coach in the offseason).
52. Bernhard Langer: Why not? (Because he's almost 80.)
53. Vijay Singh: If Singh is in the hunt, I will pay big bucks for a live cam on Tim Finchem. Holy cow, that would be incredible.
54. Shane Lowry: I'm a big Lowry fan, but he'll struggle in his first Masters. He also said recently that he doesn't want to overdo it. "I feel going up to Augusta the week beforehand, trying to get to know the course, is just trying a bit too hard."
55. Jose Maria Olazabal: Made more cuts than Tiger Woods in the last two Masters (amirite?).
56. Graeme McDowell: He just doesn't hit it far enough to be taken seriously here. His last five outings have been cut, cut, T12, cut and cut.
57. Joost Luiten: Top 25 in his first trip to Augusta last year. Can you imgaine the material Jim Nantz would have to work with on the winning call if a guy named "Joost" won?
58. Ben Crane: A T17 is his best finish here, and he's shown no form so far in 2015. I do wonder how long he would last before being escorted off the grounds if he wore his helmet.
59. Morgan Hoffmann: If a Masters rookie wins this year, it won't be this former Oklahoma State Cowboy.
60. Kevin Streelman: He just does nothing for me. Seriously, is Streelman going to win a green jacket? No, he's not.
61. Brendon Todd: Todd's first Masters, and he's been playing well. Another guy who doesn't move my needle, though.
62. Camilo Villegas: How many people are going to not move my needle?!
63. John Senden: He's finished one tournament under par in 2015. Is that bad? He also finished T8 in 2014 at the Masters. I could be made a (even more of) a fool.
64. Charley Hoffman: Just his second Masters. He finished top 30 last time. I'd be surprised if he bested that in 2015.
65. Steve Stricker: He hasn't missed a cut here since 2008. That will be tested this year as he hasn't played in about six months.
66. Jason Dufner: What's happened to the ol' Duf Daddy? He's been egregious so far this season. Dufner's also never finished in the top 10 here, and he's going through a divorce. The only way he'll touch the green jacket is if his boy Keegan Bradley wins it.
67. Tiger Woods: He should be lower, but I have no stones.
68. Webb Simpson: You have as many top 10s at majors as Simpson does outside of his lone US Open win. His best finish here is T44.
69. Bernd Wiesberger: He's been in the final pairing at a major more recently than anybody on the planet not named "Rory McIlroy."
70. Jonas Blixt: Was the Swede a one-time wonder at Augusta last year when he finished T2? He's been poor so far in 2015. Maybe he just needs a big time event to come around.
71. Danny Willett: How about Willett finishing top 15 at Doral? Not impressed? Me either.
72. James Hahn: Shot 80 in his first round back after winning the Northern Trust Open. So...no.
73. Matt Every: Are they playing one of the rounds at Bay Hill? No? OK.
74. Stephen Gallacher: Finished T34 in his only Masters appearance (2014). I can't take you super seriously if you're not finishing in the top 60 of WGC events leading up to Augusta.
75. Erik Compton: Has only made one cut since the Super Bowl and a first-timer hasn't won in his first time here since 1979. Seems like a bad combination.
76. Cameron Tringale: If we were picking at the end of 2014, I would have had him in my top 40. He's been terrible in 2015, though.
77. Thongchai Jaidee: I really wanted to put him ahead of Big Cat.
78. Ben Martin: Good player. Won't have a good week.
79. Robert Streb: First trip to Augusta. Hopefully not his last (Derek Ernst nods solemnly).
80. Mikko Ilonen: How did he qualify again? Did everybody who was considered for the 2014 Ryder Cup get a free pass down Magnolia Lane?
81. Darren Clarke: Made the cut last year in his guest appearance as 2014's Sean Connery. Before that, he hadn't played a weekend since 2006. He'll be more concerned about his Ryder Cup bench in 20 months than what jacket size he needs.
82. Seung-Yul Noh: I think he's going to be great someday. I don't think "someday" is this week at Augusta.
83. Sandy Lyle: He has somehow made the last two cuts here. Three in a row might be asking too much from the 57-year-old.
84. Anirban Lahiri: He's ranked 33rd in the world (somehow) and just played four rounds at the Cadillac Championship in which he didn't break 74. If he breaks that number at Augusta, it would be stunning.
85. Mike Weir: He hasn't made a cut thus far in 2015. Holy cow. How different would his April be every year if not for that fateful tournament in 2003?
86. Gunn Yang: I like US Amateur champs more than most of the amateurs in the field. That list is a who's who of golf royalty (though not recently).
87. Corey Conners: The US Amateur runner up said "it didn't feel real" about his recent traipse down Magnolia Lane. It will on Friday afternoon when he departs.
88. Kevin Stadler: He hasn't played since January with a wrist injury. Bummer we won't see two walruses on the grounds at Augusta National this year like we did last year.
89. Larry Mize: Dude made the cut last year at age 55.
90. Matias Dominguez: Masters rookie from Texas Tech. I wonder if Kliff Kingsbury will make an appearance with his good friends Tom Brady and Wes Welker.
91. Antonio Murdaca: Nope.
92. Byron Meth: His last name describes something you would be on if you think he has a chance to win.
93. Scott Harvey: The current US Mid-Amateur champ. He's clearly enjoying himself.
94. Bradley Neil: Ranked No. 1,549 in the world. Just behind Tiger.
95. Tom Watson: Please, please, please, please put him in a pairing with Phil Mickelson for the first two rounds.
96. Mark O'Meara: He and Tiger wouldn't win the Masters playing best ball.
97. Ian Woosnam: Won't make the cut, might have the best nickname ("Woosie") in the field.
98. Ben Crenshaw: He'd finish first in my "most likely to make patrons cry on Friday because it's his final round ever at Augusta" list.
