Masters are the place where the best hope bring their game to, but it does not always happen.
This year’s ranking is stacked with players with 10 major victories combined in the top five, including the double winner and title champion Scottie Scheffler.
As with each golf tournament, however, there are big names that have not progressed around weekends.
Here are some players who returned home early from Augusta.

Angel Cabrera
Cabrera, the winner of Green Jacket 2009, was back in Augusta for the first time since 2019 after having served a prison sentence for assault and intimidation. The journalists asked him if he “deserved” to play in the masters of this year given his time spent in prison for his crimes. All the winners have a lifetime exemption in the tournament.
His answer?
“Why not?”
He was 11 years old in his two towers, tied in the second score.
Dustin Johnson
The weekend of the winner of the Masters 2020 ended with sorrow. Johnson was 1 before 18 years old, but an expensive double bogey sent him under the cup line. It is his second missed cut following Augusta. In 2023, he finished equally in 48th. His best finish since the victory was tied for the 12th in 2022.
Koepka Brooks
Koepka attacked the majors in 2023, finishing second in the second row in Augusta and winning the PGA championship. Last year was the opposite and this week in Augusta was a continuation. Like his book companion Johnson, Koepka was online to play the weekend, equal to the 16th year, but after having Bogey 17 and a quadruple Bogey out of 18, his tournament score was extended to 5.

Will Zalatoris
Fans are still waiting for Zalatoris to jump, but that didn’t happen this week. Zalatoris opened day 2 and he paraded his first 10 holes, but he dropped 11 and the double Bogey, 12 and 15, putting it everything except out of the race. His week ends 8.
Tony Finau
After equalizing for fifth in Genesis, Finau played a weak golf course, not ending in the top 30 in none of its last five tournaments. He crushed and went below the cut line at some point but could not hang on.

Russell Henley
Henley was a sleeper by many to race in a green jacket (including us). But, from the jump, he fought. An 8 out of 80 put it in despair mode on Friday, and when he went 5 sous for a 67 Friday, his 3 for the tournament was not enough.
Phil Mickelson
Mickelson’s double bogey on the 15th par-5 dropped it under the cut line. He then bogey 16 and 18 to fall short. He shocked the world with a second equality two years ago after an impressive final round, but he could not find the same magic since.
