THE Masters returns to Augusta National this week as the world’s best golfers compete for the iconic Green Jacket.
Last year, Jon Rahm was victorious after edging past Brooks Koepka on the final day.
In 2024, the Spaniard will be part of a strong LIV Golf contingent in the field, among the likes of Cameron Smith and 2023 runners-up Koepka and Phil Mickelson.
Rory McIlroy will compete at Augusta yet again as he aims to finally complete a Grand Slam in golf.
Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods is in line to play in this year’s tournament despite only appearing at one PGA Tour event in 2024.
