The year's first major championship is just around the corner, as the golf world is set to once again turn its eyes to Augusta National Golf Club for the 2023 Masters tournament on April 6.
The Masters is, famously, a tradition unlike any other, that is held in a special place of reverence by both golf fans and the world's most elite players. Make no mistake, winning a green jacket is life-changing and a dream of every golfer teeing it up in this year's edition of the tournament.
Winning the Masters gets you a spot in the field for a lifetime, but if you aren't a former champion, this is a very tough field to qualify for. Jon Rahm has no such worries, as he earned his spot in the 2023 Masters via multiple qualifiers, including his OWGR ranking and 2021 U.S. Open victory.

Jon Rahm's Masters Odds
Below are Jon Rahm's current odds for winning the 2023 Masters:
- DraftKings Sportsbook: +700
- FanDuel Sportsbook: +850
- BetMGM: +800
Jon Rahm's Recent Form
After a 2022 PGA Tour campaign that was largely below his very lofty standards, Rahm closed out the calendar year by winning two of his final three international starts (Open de Espana & DP World Tour Championship).
The Spaniard was able to successfully carry that positive momentum into the new year, opening 2023 with an electric come-from-behind win at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, as well as subsequent victories at the American Express Championship and Genesis Invitational.
Rahm's biggest strength has traditionally been his ability off the tee. While he has remained excellent with the driver this year, it's been a sharp improvement in his iron play that's led to his dominant 2023 form. He currently ranks fourth on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Approach this season.
His combination of power and skill helps him to play at an elite level with impressive consistency and he is currently the No. 3 ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Jon Rahm's Masters Record
The Spaniard has yet to slip on the highly coveted green jacket but he's been tremendous across his six career trips to Augusta National Golf Club. Since a T27 in his 2017 debut, the Arizona State alum has recorded four top-10 finishes in the Masters. He's never missed a cut in six career trips to Augusta.
Rahm's power off the tee – he's averaging just over 314 yards in driving distance this season – is a huge asset on this brutish 7,545-yard layout. He's also able to handle the lengthy approach shots that are demanded at Augusta National. Rahm currently ranks first on the PGA Tour in approaches from 200-225 yards.
Jon Rahm's 2023 Masters Outlook
Though he's won 19 times since turning professional in 2016, just one of those victories has been a major championship, which has to feel like a disappointment for the generationally-talented Rahm.
The 28-year-old is entering his prime and his play in 2023 reflects that. An illness-induced WD at THE PLAYERS Championship aside, Rahm has looked motivated and largely dominant this year.
While golf's depth of talent is greater than ever before, Rahm still stands out as an elite talent thanks to his well-rounded skill set and consistency. Along with defending Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, Rahm should be considered the man that everyone must beat in the year's first major.
