The PGA Tour's first major tournament of the year is also one of its most prestigious, as the best golfers from around the world set foot onto the storied Augusta National Golf Club in an effort to earn the coveted green jacket.

Although, winning that sought-after prize isn't easy. Augusta National features more than 7,400 yards of thick rough, tree-lined fairways and other notorious hazards such as Rae's Creek, which flows along the dangerous trio of holes known as Amen Corner. This course will test the nerves of the most skilled and seasoned players.

Speaking of seasoned veterans, all eyes are on Tiger Woods, as the former world No. 1 has accepted his invitation to the Masters but has not officially declared he will participate. Kyle Porter of CBSSports.com recently broke down the various reports regarding Woods' status.

So, regardless of Woods' ultimate decision, we have one burning question to answer: Which players in this year's field are favored to win it all? Well, as we anxiously await the tournament to commence, let's take a look at some notable Vegas odds and highlight some early predictions.

Early Predictions

Rory McIlroy



The world No. 1 needs a win at Augusta to complete golf's Grand Slam. Rory McIlroy has victories in the U.S. Open, Open Championship and PGA Championship; however, a tie for eighth in 2014 was the best he's been able to muster at the Masters.

McIlroy finished the 2014 season on an absolute tear, earning eight top-10 finishes, including three wins, in his final 10 tournaments. He's continued his hot streak in 2015, notching a win in the Dubai Desert Classic and a runner-up finish in Abu Dhabi. However, he hasn't been quite as hot on American soil, earning one top-10 finish and missing one cut in three starts.
