The Masters. That’s all that is needed when talking about the PGA TOUR’s first major championship. It is a tournament like no other, where players hope for an invite and where greats make their mark. Augusta National is a beautiful mystery that, for most, marks the start of spring.
This year’s Masters Tournament has many story lines. Tiger Woods is back and after another dramatic win a few weeks ago enters, once again, this week as the odds on favorite. Phil Mickelson is playing great golf heading into the Masters, having already won twice this season. Padraig Harrington enters this week looking to win his third straight major championship. Is it time for Sergio Garcia’s to become a major champion?
There is always an underdog that captures fans hearts. Last year it was Brendt Snedeker, who will it be this year? Maybe Greg Norman or Fred Couples will provide a flare like Jack Nicklaus did in 1986. Also, the time is now for young players Anthony Kim, Camilo Villegas and even Rory McIlroy to break away and become stars in their own right.
The Masters Tournament is one of the smoothest operations on TOUR. The web site – masters.com – is full of great content and features that will captivate you away from the television. This year there will be live video footage of Amen Corner, holes 15 and 16 and player interviews. Also, the site will show coverage of the Par 3 Contest, a live leaderboard and bonus video coverage.
