This weekend, the sporting world will once more become acquainted with Eisenhower tree, Amen corner, the log cabin and the Azalea flower.
Twenty months ago, ahead of the 2014 USPGA Championship in Valhalla, PGATour.com's experts plumped for their favourites for the tournament. To a man, they all picked Rory McIlroy - correctly, as it transpired.
There is no such unanimity this time around.
We've aggregated the tips from across the golf media landscape. Names like Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson, guys who've excelled around Augusta in the past, appear continually. Others like Jason Day, Louis Oosthuizen, Patrick Reed and, yes, Rory McIlroy are also tossed out. There's remarkably little talk about the defending champion, however.
To check out our tips on the contenders, the longshots, and who to avoid, head in this direction.
