Mark Giannotto highlighted Collin Morikawa as a prime candidate to win the 2025 Masters, pointing to Morikawa's impressive position ranking second in strokes gained tee-to-green for 2025, only behind Rory McIlroy. He noted Morikawa has quietly flown under the radar due to an 18-month winning drought, most recently missing the chance at victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Despite this, Morikawa has earned three top-10 finishes in just five starts this season and has proven his championship pedigree with prior victories at the PGA Championship and British Open. Giannotto believes Morikawa is ready to take the next step at Augusta National.
