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