The Masters 2024: Teeing Off for Tradition
The 88th edition of the Masters Tournament is upon us, kicking off today, April 11th, and running through the 14th at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
Here’s a quick rundown of what to know:
- Defending Champion: Jon Rahm returns to Augusta looking to repeat his fairytale victory from last year, where he claimed his first Green Jacket on the anniversary of Seve Ballesteros’ second win.
- Course Changes: A new tee box has been added to the par-five second hole (Pink Dogwood) to make it the course’s longest at 585 yards, aiming to restore its risk-reward challenge.
- Exclusive Field: The Masters remains an invitation-only event, featuring past champions, recent major winners, top performers from last year’s majors and PGA Tour, and leading amateurs.
- Weather Watch: Rain is predicted for the opening day, adding another layer of strategy for players.
- Tiger Watch: While Tiger Woods is a longshot at 100-1 odds, all eyes will be on him to see if he can make a magical comeback.
Stay tuned for updates on the leaderboard, exciting plays, and who will wear the coveted Green Jacket this year!
