What to watch this week
The Masters always delivers, but this year feels especially busy.
McIlroy returns as the defending champion after finally crossing the line at Augusta, while Scheffler continues his run as the world’s most consistent player. Add in names like Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele and Jordan Spieth and you have a field that feels as deep as ever.
And then there is Augusta itself.
No matter how many times you watch it, there’s nothing quite like it – especially once we get to the bottom nine on Sunday.
Final Thoughts
Masters doesn’t need much explanation. You already know where you will be this weekend.
Just make sure you know how to watch it.
