11. Justin Rose
The South African-born golfer came from two strokes back to outlast Phil Mickelson and Jason Day to win the 2013 U.S. Open. That experience should come in handy when Rose steps onto the course in Augusta.

Zach Johnson owns bragging rights that most golfers on this list simply do not: He defeated Tiger Woods in the Masters. In 2007, Johnson held off Tiger for a two-shot win.

13. Sergio Garcia
Sergio Garcia has to be one of the top golfers today who hasn't yet won a major tournament. He's finished in the top five in all four of the majors, but has yet to break through. Is 2015 the year of Sergio?

Matt Kuchar has had a career revival since the start of the decade. Kuchar won his first tournament in 2002 and didn't regain a top spot until seven years later. Since 2010, he has finished in the top 10 at every major at least once.
