Masters highlights
- Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy is still in search of of his first Masters championship to complete the elusive career grand slam. McIlroy won the Open Championship and PGA Championship in 2014, but has not won in the 39 majors that have been played since. His best finish at the Masters was second in 2022.
- Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods will not be playing in the Masters after undergoing surgery last month to repair a tear in his left Achilles tendon.
- The world’s best players don’t play in the same tournaments anymore due to the LIV Tour. That only adds to the annual hype over the Masters. It will be the first time since last July’s Open Championship at Royal Troon that the best from the PGA Tour and the best from LIV are competing for the same prize.
- The Americans dominated the majors last year, sweeping all four events with Xander Schauffele capturing the Open and PGA Championships, Bryson DeChambeau the U.S. Open and Scheffler the Masters. In fact, Americans have now won seven of the last eight majors.
- Scheffler won a record $3.6 million for his Masters victory last year.
