Of the 12 LIV Golf players competing in the 2025 Masters, seven of them have slid on the green jacket.
Four of the past eight Masters champions now compete on LIV Golf, and this week marks the first time since the Olympics that the best players in the world are together again competing on the same stage.
Some of those playing for LIV come into the first major of the year in good form. Others are likely hoping to simply make the weekend and play all four rounds.
Let's rank the LIV Golf players coming into the Masters, from those least likely to contend to those with a great chance to win.
LIV Golf power rankings at 2025 Masters
12. Bubba Watson
Yes, Bubba is a two-time Masters winner. There's always a chance he finds some magic, but he was relegated from LIV Golf last year and hasn't found his form in 2025.
11. Charl Schwartzel
It's hard to put Schwartzel this low, considering he finished second at LIV Golf Miami last weekend, but the 2011 Masters champ was a one-hit wonder at Augusta National.
10. Patrick Reed
Reed has had a so-so year on LIV Golf, and he hasn't missed the cut at the Masters since winning in 2018. He tied for seventh at Doral last week, so perhaps he is finding his groove heading into Augusta National.
7. Dustin Johnson
Another player who feels way too low on the list, but Johnson has not had a good start to 2025. He has slowly faded, tying for fifth in Hong Kong last month, but his best finish otherwise is T-27 at Doral. He has also missed the Masters cut two of the past four years.
8. Cameron Smith
Smith knows how to play well at Augusta National, finishing in the top 10 in five of the last six years. But he's struggling coming into the Masters. Maybe this week is when it turns around (because it feels criminal to have him this low).
7. Tyrrell Hatton
Hatton has been middle of the road on LIV Golf this year. He won in Dubai to begin the year but hasn't finished better than T-19 in his last four starts. He has the talent to contend, but he hasn't been playing well leading into the Masters.
6. Phil Mickelson
Hear me out: Lefty is playing some good golf ahead of Augusta National. If he has one more run in him, it could be this weekend. A pair of top-six finishes on LIV Golf in his last two starts, and Mickelson knows how to play well at Augusta National, where he is the tournament's all-time money winner.
5. Brooks Koepka
If there's almost a guarantee in recent years, it's that Koepka is going to contend in majors. It's a mixed bag of results this season, but he has a runner-up finish in Singapore, and knowing the Masters is high on his priority list, you can almost guarantee Koepka is going to be around the lead at some point.
4. Sergio Garcia
The 2017 Masters champion has been playing incredible golf in recent months. He's 19th in the Data Golf rankings, which ranks both PGA Tour and LIV Golf players, and he's made a great argument that he should be on the European Ryder Cup team. Putting himself into contention this week would be another reason to do just that.
3. Bryson DeChambeau
The 2024 U.S. Open champion ...
