2021 Masters predictions, favorites: Ranking the field from 1-88 at Augusta National

From Dustin Johnson to Ian Woosnam, here's everything you need to know about the 2021 Masters field

It's that time again. Time to rank the entire field of 2021 Masters participants from 1-88. This is an impossible task that has the potential to make me look silly by at least Saturday, but based on all the evidence we have coming into Masters week, this is a ranking of who I believe is most likely to win the 85th Masters.  The list is put together using some combination of recent form, past history at this tournament and intuition based on how each golfer's game matches up to what I envision from a Masters champion. Much of the statistical data is pulled from Data Golf and concentrates on ball-striking from the last 2-3 months leading into the Masters, which in the past has been a nice indicator of who will win the tournament. Dustin Johnson leads the list following his victory in November 2020 at Augusta National. He takes the top spot from Bryson DeChambeau; though his ceiling here is insanely high, DeChambeau has yet to finish in the top 10 at this tournament. Those two switch spots from November while Jon Rahm stays put at No. 2. Jordan Spieth makes the biggest leap of any of the contenders, going from No. 29 just five months ago to No. 4 entering this week following his Texas Open win.
