AUGUSTA, GA (SNN-TV) – Starting tomorrow the iconic Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, will host the 87th edition of The Masters Tournament.
The first golf major of the year will see PGA Tour and LIV Tour golfers competing against each other. The field is littered with experienced past champions like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth. Let’s not forget defending champion Scottie Scheffler who will be looking to add another major title to his resume.
Eighty-eight players are descending upon Augusta to compete in the Masters with aspirations of slipping on the famed green jacket by Sunday. Of that group, 52 of those players competed last year on the same course.
Highlighted by the three-headed monster atop the golf world that is Scheffler, four-time major champion Rory McIlroy and 2021 U.S. Open winner Jon Rahm, this year’s field features a litany of players with a realistic chance to make history.
Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson as honorary starters will begin the tournament tomorrow morning at 7:40, with TV coverage to begin on ESPN at 3pm.
