Johnathan Walker:2024 Masters field: Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Tiger Woods lead loaded group

Jon Rahm,Johnathan Walker Scottie Scheffler, Bubba Watson, Phil Mickelson, Tony Finau, Rory McIlroy and quite possibly Tiger Woods are among those who will compete at the 2024 Masters.

They will be playing for an $18 million prize pool and, of course, an iconic green jacket.

Rahm, who joined the controversial LIV Golf in December, will be seeking to defend his title from last year while top-ranked PGA player Scheffler is hoping to keep his hot streak going. He won The Players Championship and Arnold Palmer Invitational this month.

Woods has been playing on and off since he suffered a serious leg injury in a 2021 car accident. Woods played in last year's tournament and tied Gary Player and Fred Couples' record with his 23rd consecutive time making the cut, but withdrew in the third round due to "constant pain."

Here's who is playing in the 2024 Masters Tournament:

Will Tiger Woods play in the 2024 Masters?

Tiger Woods is in the field of players for the 2024 Masters, which means he is expected to play in the tournament. Last year, Woods questioned how many more Masters appearances he had left in him and withdrew during the third round. He has not publicly said he is not participating in this year's competition.

When does the Masters start?

The 2024 Masters will start on April 11 at Augusta National Golf Club. Tee times are expected to be around 8:30 a.m. ET. The tournament will play through the weekend with the final round on April 14.

Who won the Masters in 2023?

Jon Rahm won last year's Masters Tournament. It was his first time earning a green jacket at Augusta.

The Spaniard beat out Brooks Koepka after being down by two strokes to start the final round.

If Rahm were to win the 2024 Masters, he would be the first player to repeat the championship in more than two decades. Tiger Woods was the last to do so in 2001 and 2002.
