No Tiger Woods, no problem, right? 

Well, maybe not. The 2014 Masters may not be everything that the 2013 version was without the 14-time major winner competing to end his now five-year drought.

But that doesn't mean this year's field is short on talent—by any means. 

From former Masters champions looking to add another green jacket, to today's stars hoping to notch their first, or simply an unheralded golfer shaking up the field, there is plenty to watch for throughout the weekend. But the attention always tends to start and end at a short list of contenders marked as favorites, and this year is no different. 

Let's break down the golfers who will be the top contenders to keep an eye on at the 2014 Masters. 

 

Adam Scott



One year removed from becoming the first Australian to ever don the green jacket, Adam Scott is back for more. 

And if he adds a second green jacket over the weekend, it will make him the world's top-ranked golfer over Woods according to the Augusta Chronicle:



Scott had made his name synonymous with late-major flameouts before his epic playoff victory over Angel Cabrera at the 2013 Masters. But perhaps just as impressive as his major win was the form he closed out the year in.

The 33-year-old did finish tied for 45th in the U.S. Open. But he bounced back in a huge way at the British Open, where he entered the final round back-nine with a lead before relinquishing it and finishing in third place. Scott then finished tied for fifth at the PGA Championship—the year's final major. 

Scott didn't have a perfect 2013, but it's tough to find anyone who had a better one. And his ability to avoid falling off after winning his first major (see: Bubba Watson) proves that he will be around in 2014 as well.
