The experts predict the winner

James Corrigan

Dustin Johnson If it is possible for a world No 1 to fly under the radar, then Johnson has done so, despite having all the armoury required to conquer Augusta. If he drives well, he wins.

Paul Hayward

Justin Rose Justin Rose lost in play-off to Sergio Garcia 12 months ago and was tied for second with Phil Mickelson in 2015. He has not missed the cut in 12 visits – so he guarantees a run for your money. If he has recovered from last year’s disappointment, Rose would be a worthy

Masters champion.

Sandy Lyle 1988 Masters champion

Justin Rose He is the person I think you need to look out for. He’s played very well here recently and I would be surprised if he did not have another great Masters.

Butch Harmon Former coach

Rory Mcilroy My money would be on Rory this year. He is playing much better, he is driving the ball wonderfully and he seems to have got his putting straightened out.

Nick Dougherty Sky Sports commentator

Dustin Johnson The golf course suits him in terms of the shape, to be able to draw the ball like he does. I think he will be coming into the right form.

Ewen Murray

Analyst and former professional

Rory Mcilroy I saw a lot of him in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and I like what he has done fitness-wise and golf-wise. Augusta should suit him because he can fly it through the air.

Sam Dean

Bubba Watson The two-time Masters winner has overcome problems with his health and has already chalked up two PGA Tour wins this year. Boasts that lethal mix of power and imagination.
