2026 Masters Tournament: Strokes-gained rankings at Augusta National (2021-2025)

The Masters is a unique tournament in that it's the only men's major played at the same venue every year. That means performance at Augusta National Golf Club is a critical factor in determining a winner.

That's why I'm looking back at the last five years to see which players are the leaders in Strokes Gained: Augusta National.

How this works

The calculation is simple: Compare a player's individual rounds against the field average that day at Augusta National, add up all the strokes gained and divide by the total number of rounds played to get an average. I have the top 60 players available for members, but the top 5, which are pretty obvious, are below.
