Matt Barrie, ESPN Winner: Scottie Scheffler: it's eerily similar to last year. He's the hottest player on the planet, and nothing is too big for the 2022 champ.

Tory Barron, ESPN.comWinner: Cameron Smith: I've always been one for drama, and I think Smith is fervent in his desire to prove the LIV guys can still hang with their former colleagues. On top of that, the reigning Open champion has performed well at Augusta, finishing in the top 10 in four of his past five Masters starts.

Elizabeth Baugh, ESPN.comWinner: Jordan Spieth: The Jordan Spieth Experience is a roller coaster like none other, but I'm ready to ride. The 2015 champion knows his way around the course, which creative shots he needs to hit and his season is trending toward a big win.

Michael Collins, ESPN.com Winner: Scottie Scheffler: Even now as the best player in the world, Scottie doesn't get the respect he deserves — he's the defending champion. Plus, I want to see him do a Jack Nicklaus move and put the jacket on himself. Ultimate flex!
