Scott will tee off in his 17th Masters as World No.60 this week, but the 2013 winner has never entered Augusta ranked in the 50s.

It is his worst ranking at the Masters since debuting in 2002, when Scott was 48th.

But the 37-year-old Queenslander is confident his winning experience at Augusta will help him feature on the leaderboard.

"I think any past champion could be dangerous around here," Scott told AAP.

He also pointed to the fact he beat 2009 Masters winner Angel Cabrera in the 2013 play-off when the Argentine was in his 40s.

"Angel always looks great at Augusta ... we've also seen (60-year-old) Bernhard Langer contend and Fred Couples play well into his 50s.

"You have to give (winning) some value at Augusta, but I still have to go out and do it."

Scott is showing signs of rediscovering his world-class ball-striking, ranking 15th on the US PGA Tour for approach play.

The Queenslander says watching video highlights of his green jacket win for the first time in years has him fired up as he chases a second career major title.

"I watched that play-off last week for the first time in a really long time," Scott said.

"It's instantly emotional and still feels really close by ... that was fun to watch.

"I took some good stuff out of that for this week; my intensity level was where you've got to take yourself to be competitive here."

Scott downplayed the theory good form is necessary to win the Masters.

He pointed to the fact he had won twice in the lead-up to the 2016 edition but recorded his worst Masters result (tie for 42nd) since missing the cut in 2009.

"Form is nice obviously, would Bubba Watson be feeling a little more confident going to Augusta? Probably," Scott said.

"You'd have to think 2016 was going to be my best result given my form, but that was my one of my worst results.

"It's about peaking and I have planned everything to peak at Augusta and my game is feeling sharp."
