Even though Carlos Ortiz of Mexico and Brian Gay of the United States have won the last two weeks on the PGA Tour, they will have to wait until 2021 to compete at the Masters. Here are the last five winners on the PGA Tour who will be competing in Augusta starting Thursday.
5) Patrick Cantlay–The 28 year-old native of Long Beach, California won the 2020 Zozo Championship from Lake Sherwood, California on October 25. The event was supposed to be in Japan, but was moved to the United States because of coronavirus. After shooting a four-round score of -23, Cantlay defeated Jon Rahm of Spain and Justin Thomas of the United States by a stroke. At the Masters, Cantlay will be in a threesome that includes major champions Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson.
4) Jason Kokrak–The 35-year-old American who is actually a native of North Bay, Ontario, Canada, won the 2020 CJ Cup from Las Vegas on October 18. Like the Zozo Championship, the CJ Cup was to take place in Asia, but got moved to the United States because of coronavirus. Kokrak put up a strong score of -20, and beat Xander Schauffele by two strokes. At the Masters, Kokrak and Schauffele are teaming up with Henrik Stenson of Sweden, the 2016 British Open champion.
3) Bryson DeChambeau–The winner of the 2020 United States Open in September, Bryson DeChambeau of Modesto, California, is the odds makers to win the 2020 Masters. The William Hill Sportsbook has DeChambeau at 8-1, with Dustin Johnson at 9-1. DeChambeau will be in the same threesome as 2010 British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa, and Spain’s Jon Rahm.
2) Dustin Johnson–The winner of The Tour Championship from Atlanta, Johnson, a native of Columbia, South Carolina, won three times in 2020. The world number one also won the Travelers Championship from Hartford in June and the Northern Trust in Boston in August.
1) Jon Rahm–The Spanish superstar is in the Masters field alongside fellow Spaniards Rafael Cabrera Bello and Jose Maria Olazabal. Currently ranked number two in the world, Rahm won the BMW Championship in Chicago in August.
