2026 Masters Tournament<\/strong><\/p>\n

PGA Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n

Augusta National Golf Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

Augusta, Georgia<\/p>\n

9-12 April 2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

World No. 14 Hideki Matsuyama will be one of 17 former champions in the field competing at the Masters from 9-12 April<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He became Japan’s first player to win at Augusta after carding a 10-under 278 to beat Will Zalatoris by one stroke in 2021.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The major title was Matsuyama’s sixth career win on the PGA Tour and he’s added another five since then, the most recent being the Sentry in January 2025.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 34-year-old narrowly missed out on a seventh victory at this year’s Phoenix Open when he lost to Chris Gotterup in a playoff to finish second.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matsuyama achieved another top 10 at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am the following weekend (T8), while his worst performance came at the Arnold Palmer Invitational when he finished T41.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 2024 Olympic bronze medal winner will be making his 15th appearance at the Masters and has nine top-25 finishes since 2015.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matsuyama has revealed he is yet to dry clean his iconic green jacket and carried it through the Atlanta airport following his historic triumph five years ago.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I just was so worried that something might happen to it,” he said. ‘I didn’t want to let it out of my sight.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last five Masters winners<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

2025 – Rory McIlroy (NIR)<\/p>\n

2024 – Scottie Scheffler (USA)<\/p>\n

2023 – Jon Rahm (ESP)<\/p>\n

2022 – Scottie Scheffler (USA)<\/p>\n

2021 – Hideki Matsuyama (JPN)<\/p>\n
