After weeks of anticipation, The Masters is almost upon us, with many of the world’s best players preparing to compete in the first Major of the year at Augusta National.
If it’s anything like last year’s event, the four days of action on the world-famous fairways will not be short of talking points.
Back then, it had everything, from LIV Golf players lining up against their PGA Tour counterparts for the first time since joining the big-money circuit to Spanish star Jon Rahm eventually claiming the Green Jacket on what would have been compatriot Seve Ballesteros’s birthday.
This year’s event is sure to offer plenty of drama, too. Once again, many players from LIV Golf are in the field, including Rahm after he made the move to the League in December.
Among the PGA Tour stars competing, the man to beat will surely be 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler after the World No.1 claimed two victories in March as well as a T2 at the Texas Children’s Houston Open.
And what about the player immediately beneath him in the world rankings, Rory McIlroy? It is now 10 years since his last Major win, with a Masters title the only one that eludes him. Will this be the year, finally, where we see McIlroy wearing a Green Jacket at Butler Cabin after the last putt?

Then there’s the first appearance of five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods since his withdrawal from February’s Genesis Invitational through illness. Can Woods once again defy the odds as he did in 2019 to claim the title?
Whatever the tournament has in store, it is sure to make for unmissable viewing, and, thankfully, for golf fans in both the US and the UK, there are many options for catching the drama as it unfolds...
