It's set to be an enthralling four days of golfing action, with the first of the sport's four Majors – and, of course – the iconic Green Jacket up for grabs. Oh, and a grand prize of $2,070,000, which is better than a kick in the teeth.
Just five months ago, world number one Dustin Johnson won the 84th edition of the competition, which was postponed due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. He'll be looking to become the first golfer since Tiger Woods to win the Masters two times in a row – a feat the legend achieved after winning in both 2001 and 2002.
Here's OddsChecker's latest rundown of the favourites for the competition, as the excitement continues to build ahead of the first round:

5. Rory McIlroy - 14/1
A decade on from his infamous 2011 Masters meltdown, McIlroy is still looking for his first Green Jacket. He's no longer ranked in the world's top ten, and the odds are against him here, it seems. Photo: Mike Ehrmann
6. Jordan Spieth - 11/1
He won the Masters in 2015, and recently ended a spell of well over 1,000 days without a victory by scooping the Valero Texas Open. He gets his tournament underway at 15:54, alongside Collin Morikawa and Cameron Smith. Photo: Kevin C. Cox
7. Jon Rahm - 10/1
Rahmbo finished 4th in the 2018 tournament, and could well be among the lead contenders for the Green Jacket this time around. He's yet to win a Major, but this just could be his year. Photo: Kevin C. Cox
8. Bryson Dechambeau - 10/1
The current US Open champion will be bringing his trademark, brutal drives to the competition, which should see him do some real damage on longer holes 'Yellow Jasmine', 'Firethorn' and the 575-yard 'Pink Dogwood' in particular. Photo: Jared C. Tilton
