87th Masters Tournament Starts

The wold famous Masters Golf Tournament starts today in Augusta, GA.  It’s the 87th year of the tournament and the first major of the year.  Defending winner Scottie Scheffler is expected to be among the favorites to win and he would become only the 4th player to win back-to-back. Rory McIllroy is also among the favorites, who would become just the 6th player in history to win all four major tournaments. Tiger Woods, although not expected to be competitive, would tie Jack Nicholaus’s record of 6 Masters wins. It will be Woods’ 25th appearance in the tournament and may end up being his last due to his lingering health issues.
