Play is underway at Augusta National Golf Club as players from around the globe look to capture the green jacket in the 80th Masters Tournament. Jordan Spieth arrived as the defending champion after a four-stroke victory in last year's event.

The 22-year-old American is facing no shortage of fellow contenders, though. It's a wide-open field, with Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson just a handful of the other notable names with realistic shots at winning the season's first major title.

Let's check out how the leaderboard is currently shaping up as the first day of action rolls on. That's followed by a breakdown of the tournament's outlook and predictions for the top finishers.

Tournament Predictions

One name missing from the entry list is Tiger Woods, who announced last week that he wouldn't compete while continuing to recover from back problems. In many ways, this year's tournament is the antithesis of the ones during the longtime star's prime.

Woods always showed up to Augusta as the overwhelming favorite and on four occasions walked away as champion. This time around there's no clear favorite, and the number of winners who would qualify as true shocks is limited. It should be a highly entertaining battle to the finish.



The defending champion took to the course Thursday under unique circumstances. According to Nick Menta of Golf Channel, Spieth stated at the Golf Writers Association of America's annual banquet Wednesday that he cracked his driver head during the final day of preparation.

Although Spieth also told Golf Channel he actually liked the initial feel of the replacement driver better, it's something to keep in mind as the week goes on. In a tournament where the margin for error will likely be thin, even small issues will be magnified.
