[h=2]23. Tiger Woods[/h]<figure><figcaption><!-- slide body text --> OWGR: 111
Best of 2015: In short, not much. Woods missed the cut badly at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, firing an 82 in the process. He then withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open and hasn't played since.
Why He's Here: He's still Tiger Woods, for what that's worth. Forget about the wins, since 2005 this guy has only finished outside the top 10 once at Augusta. Simply, this is a course Tiger Woods has historically owned.
More importantly, he's been practicing diligently since early February.
If he's truly healthy, how could he not at least play like the 23rd-best player in the field?
Really, if a theoretically healthy Tiger Woods can't get it together with nearly two months of practice uninterrupted by tournament play for the Masters, then he truly ought to hang up his Nikes.
Masters History: Woods is a four-time Masters winner: 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2005. He?s totaled 13 top-10 finishes in 18 starts at the Georgia course.

1. Jordan Spieth

Best of 2015: No golfer has been hotter than Jordan Spieth lately. He won the Hero World Challenge and the Valspar Championship. He's recorded seven top-10 finishes in 10 starts and just finished tied for second after losing to J.B. Holmes in a playoff at the Shell Houston Open.
Why He's Here: While McIlroy may be the objectively better golfer, Spieth is surging at the moment. He could easily have won his three starts leading up to the Masters. Spieth is playing brilliant golf and can handle Augusta, as he proved last year.
Past Masters play and recent success on tour point to Jordan Spieth as the only choice for the top spot in this ranking.
Masters History: Last year, Spieth tied for second in his first Masters appearance.
