The Masters, golf’s most prestigious major, is one week away from teeing off at Augusta National Golf Club, with the world’s best players vying for the coveted Green Jacket.
This year’s tournament has no shortage of storylines. Most notably, Tiger Woods will miss the Masters for the second consecutive year after being arrested on suspicion of DUI and subsequently announcing he is stepping away from golf to seek treatment.
