The Masters Field
It’s finally here.
The portal we pass through from winter to spring, a tradition unlike any other.
The Masters.
The field of 89 is made up of former winners, amateurs, debutants, and contenders. There is a cut.
Just the top 50 players and ties make it to the weekend.
And there is no course where past results are more indicative of future play than Augusta National.
Storylines: The Masters
As always, The Masters has great storylines. It’s part of the magic.
Will a LIV Golfer Win?
There are 13 LIV golfers competing, including last years champ Jon Rahm and runner-up Brooks Koepka.
What Will Tiger Do?
There are rumors that the big cat shot 31 through nine during his practice round, but there are always rumors. You can never write him off, especially at Augusta.
Will Scottie Dominate? He’s been the single best player in pro golf. He’s won here already. If that putter is hot? He could easily go wire to wire.
Can Rory Complete The Grand Slam? Will the 16th time be the charm?
Will there be a debutant winner for first time since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979?
Wyndham Clark and Ludvig Aberg are both making their Masters debuts.
The Masters Favorites
Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele, Hideki Mastuyama, Brooks Koepka, Joaquin Niemann, Jordan Spieth, and Ludvig Aberg.

If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.
Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.
Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies.

Shots Heard Round The Masters
Masters Heartbreak Record Holder
In 1996, he shot the lowest opening round ever at Augusta with a 63.
He holds the record there for most consecutive rounds in the 60’s with five.
He’s 5th in scoring average among players with at least 75 rounds played.
He has zero green jackets, his name is Greg Norman.
Has any one man had more Masters heartbreak than Greg Norman?

You are not going to believe what happened the first time I played #themasters
It was in 2001 and my 1st round tee time was around 8:30 and I was a little nervous. I just watched Byron Nelson and Sam Snead hit off only a few minutes prior and the enormity of the event was… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
