MARTIN KAYMER
Age: 27.
Country: Germany.
World ranking: 4.
Wins: 10.
Majors: PGA Championship (2010).
Best Masters moment: Tuesday press conferences.
Worst Masters moment: Never making it to the weekend.
Forecaddie: Of the young players, he has been the most proficient at winning against strong fields. But he has never made the cut at the Masters, and last year at No. 1 in the world, he set out to change his swing for Augusta. If he's not careful, he'll start believing that he can't win the Masters -- if he hasn't started believing that already.

BUBBA WATSON
Age: 33.
Country: United States.
World ranking: 18.
Wins: 3.
Majors: None.
Best Masters moment: Referring to entrance as Magnolia Lane instead of "that tiny road with trees that starts with an M."
Worst Masters moment: Closing with a 78 last year when everyone around him was making a move.
Forecaddie: If Augusta National taps the creative side, few have more imagination than this guy. His length is an advantage, along with the various shapes he can create. But when he gets his ball position out of sync, it can be difficult to get it back. And he looked shaky on fast greens at Bay Hill.

JUSTIN ROSE
Age: 31.
Country: England.
World ranking: 8.
Wins: 10.
Majors: None.
Best Masters moment: Taking a two-shot lead into the weekend in 2004.
Worst Masters moment: Losing the lead in 2004 with an 81 in the third round.
Forecaddie: He has had enough good moments at the Masters to believe he can contend. He has won on quality courses, from Muirfield Village to Aronimink. Rose put a lot of emphasis on the Florida swing and came away with a big win at Doral.

HUNTER MAHAN
Age: 30.
Country: United States.
World ranking: 14.
Wins: 4.
Majors: None.
Best Masters moment: Made the cut as an amateur in 2003.
Worst Masters moment: Missed the cut in his Masters debut as a professional in 2008.
Forecaddie: Picked up his second World Golf Championship title at the Match Play with an efficient, and motivated, win that denied Rory McIlroy from going to No. 1. His strengths are driving accuracy and his iron play. His weakness has been chipping, one of the more crucial elements at Augusta National.
___
BRANDT SNEDEKER
Age: 31.
Country: United States.
World ranking: 22.
Wins: 3.
Majors: None.
Best Masters moment: Making a 35-foot eagle putt on the second hole of the final round to tie for the lead in 2008.
Worst Masters moment: Hitting into Rae's Creek on the 13th hole to lose hope of winning in 2008.
Forecaddie: Rallied from seven shots behind to win at Torrey Pines this year. He has a quick tempo to go with a game built around feel, and the Masters figures to be one major where he can contend if enough things go right for him. His lesson from 2008? Keep emotions at an even keel.
___
BILL HAAS
Age: 29.
Country: United States.
World ranking: 16.
Wins: 4.
Majors: None.
Best Masters moment: Watching his father, Jay, tie for third in 1995.
Worst Masters moment: Having to wait five years after turning pro before he qualified for his first Masters.
Forecaddie: The FedEx Cup champion is finally living up to his potential as one of the top Americans. Coming off Tour Championship win last year, validated it with a playoff win at Riviera when he holed a long birdie putt across the 10th green.
___
WEBB SIMPSON
Age: 26.
Country: United States.
World ranking: 9.
Wins: 2.
Majors: None.
Best Masters moment: Playing the course for the first time at age 12.
Worst Masters moment: Blowing a 4-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole as a 12-year-old for a chance to break 80.
Forecaddie: He nearly won the PGA Tour money title last year with two wins and contending on a regular basis. He does a good job thinking his way around the course and relying on his putter. For a Masters rookie, expectations are high.
___
KEEGAN BRADLEY
Age: 25.
Country: United States.
World ranking: 20.
Wins: 2.
Majors: PGA Championship (2011).
Best Masters moment: Earning a spot in the field by winning his first major.
Worst Masters moment: Getting the short end of a money game against Phil Mickelson in a practice round at Augusta.
Forecaddie: Another Masters rookie with big hype, and not just because he won the most recent major. A late bloomer, Bradley is long off the tee and has a beautiful touch with the belly putter. Two wins as a PGA Tour rookie should not be considered a fluke.
___
K.J. CHOI
Age: 41.
Country: South Korea.
World ranking: 23.
Wins: 17.
Majors: None.
Best Masters moment: Holing out for eagle on the 11th hole in the final round of 2004.
Worst Masters moment: Making a bogey on the 12th hole of the final round last year when he had a share of the lead.
Forecaddie: He was among eight players who had a share of the lead at some point in the final round last year, and this follows a good run in 2004 and 2010. He feels comfortable at Augusta, and has contended at this major more than the others.
___
JASON DAY
Age: 24.
Country: Australia.
World ranking: 11.
Wins: 1.
Majors: None.
Best Masters moment: Making a birdie on the 18th hole last year to tie for second.
Worst Masters moment: Still waiting.
Forecaddie: He made an auspicious debut at the Masters, and he's a very explosive player. The only troublesome part for the Australian is being prone to injury, and having only one win in his first four years on the PGA Tour. His talent suggests that he should be winning more.
