2024 Masters: 5 Potential First-Timer Winners to Watch This Year

Joaquin Niemann

It's hard to compare the PGA Tour to the LIV Golf Tour, but that doesn't mean we can't look at some similarities, especially in course style. Joaquin Niemann has had a strong year on the LIV Tour, and he's already won the Australian Open, a tournament that golf experts consider at least in the ballpark of Augusta National in terms of overall similarities with the course style. Niemann is on point, and there's value in his recent play turning into victory this week.

Xander Schauffele

Yes, we're very much aware of the elephant in the room regarding Xander Schauffele. Still, that won't sway how we view this tremendous golfer heading into The Masters. Although he's yet to win the big one, Schauffele is one of the top players on tour, and his odds continue to reflect that leading up to The Masters. It doesn't hurt that Schauffele has a T-2 and T-3 at Augusta National.

Will Zalatoris

Will Zalatoris isn't hard to like if you've been following his career trajectory. After undergoing back surgery in 2023, Zalatoris has been back with a vengeance this year. The youngster has only played in The Masters twice, and in both those showings, he's played exceptionally well. Zalatoris has finished as the runner-up and has a T-6 at Augusta National, leaving him as a sound option to pick up the victory this week.

Cameron Smith

Aussie Cameron Smith has already been close at The Masters before, which is a sign that we should be keeping an eye on him to finish the job this week. Smith has finished in the top five three times during his last six appearances at Augusta National, which bodes well for him heading into the stacked field this week. Smith is playing strong golf leading up to this tournament, positioning himself well for a shot at the green jacket.
