Masters winners by year: Complete list of champions

Masters week is here. All eyes are on Augusta National, where defending champion Rory McIlroy and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headline a star-studded field, both chasing another green jacket.

McIlroy returns to Augusta as champion for the first time in his career, though his lead-up to this year's event has been far from smooth. A back injury forced him to withdraw from the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, and he followed that by narrowly making the cut at the Players Championship. Despite the turbulent run of form, McIlroy is aiming to become the first back-to-back Masters winner since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002.

Scottie Scheffler arrives at Augusta on a personal high, having recently welcomed his second child. He withdrew from the Houston Open in March to be with his wife, and his last competitive outing, the Players Championship, ended in a tie for 22nd. Even so, Scheffler remains a strong favorite to claim his third green jacket.

Here is a list of all the Masters champions.
