Could one of the 24 first-timers lining up at this week's Masters actually go all the way and pick up a new green jacket for his wardrobe?
Graham DeLaet The Canadian produced a powerful end-of-season showing last year when finishing in the top three in back-to-back FedEx Cup playoff events at the Barclays and Deutsche Bank. He also impressed in the International Team during the Presidents Cup, and has made many a list of players to watch in 2014, so it'll be interesting to see how he goes at Augusta. Joost Luiten The Dutchman found the winning touch in 2013 by collecting two victories on the European Tour - booking his Masters berth by finishing the year in the Top 50 in the world. He's certainly in the European Ryder Cup shake-up going forward but will need to improve his early major form and what better way to start than at Augusta. Jonas Blixt Henrik Stenson will be the Swede everyone is watching at Augusta, but Blixt could well catch an eye or two if he can find his best form on his Masters debut. He won his maiden PGA Tour title in just his 19th start back in 2012 and added to that by winning the Greenbrier Classic in 2013. He finished fourth in last year's USPGA Championship in just his second major so has already proved he can handle the big stage. Billy Horschel A great character on the golf course, Horschel starred at Merion in last year's US Open when finishing tied fourth - as well as attracting attention for his colourful choice of trousers. He also hit all 18 greens in regulation during one round on a course that proved far too tough for many bigger name players. His one win on the PGA Tour came in New Orleans.
