Golf WRX has SO MUCH great information!  But they brought in statistician Rick Hunt to dissect the field and figure out the Top 21 and final 10 who could win the 2015 Masters.  I was all with them until Matt Kuchar didn't make the Top 10!

Kyle Porter from CBS Sports Ranked the 98 players in the field and this was another hard one to read since some of my heart picks were towards the bottom.  But this is golf and anything can happen!  So take a look to see who will be on A LOT of fantasy golf teams this week.

Here is the current Masters Invitee list as of 3.29.15 as published by SB Nation.  At this time it's not necessarily everyone who has COMMITTED - with the big question mark being Tiger Woods.  There is also a chance that one more person could be in the field (making it an even 100) if the winner of the Shell Houston Open hasn't already qualified.  

To see how each of the players below qualified (Using Masters Primer 1 qualifications), please see the Invitee List on the official Masters web site here:  http://www.masters.com/en_US/players/invitees_2015.html
