Resolution Criteria

The 2026 Masters will be played April 9–12 at Augusta National Golf Club. This market resolves YES if both Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy make the cut (top 50 and ties after 36 holes). It resolves NO if either player misses the cut. Resolution will be determined by official Masters leaderboard at https://www.masters.com/en_US/tournament/leaderboard.html after Friday's second round concludes.

Background

Rory McIlroy won the 2025 Masters in a playoff over Justin Rose, and Scottie Scheffler is the +300 favorite with McIlroy at +700 for 2026. Scheffler is currently ranked world number one and has won four major championships. Both players have qualified for the tournament and are expected to compete.

Considerations

McIlroy aggravated a back injury at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and didn't arrive at The Players until Wednesday afternoon with limited preparation. McIlroy is unlikely to add further events to his itinerary before Augusta. Scheffler is undecided about playing another tune-up event before the Masters. Both players' form and fitness heading into April could impact their ability to make the cut, though missing the cut at the Masters is rare for top-ranked players.
