The 88th Masters golf tournament is set to take place from April 11-14 at Augusta National Golf Course, with practice rounds beginning on April 8 and the Par 3 Contest scheduled for April 10. Fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the event.

One of the biggest questions leading up to the tournament is whether Tiger Woods will participate. He was included in the list of players announced by the Masters organizers in late March, sparking excitement among golf enthusiasts.

The presence of the LIV Golf contingent is expected to be notable once again, with 18 players from the group competing last year. Jon Rahm emerged victorious, claiming his first green jacket and a hefty prize of $3,240,000.

Rickie Fowler, a fan favorite, will be returning to Augusta after his impressive second-place finish in 2023, marking his best performance in ten appearances at the prestigious event.

Scottie Scheffler, currently the world’s top-ranked player, is favored by bookmakers to perform well at the Masters. He secured his first major title at the 2022 Masters and has since established himself as a dominant force on the tour.

Another storyline to watch is whether Rory McIlroy can achieve the elusive Grand Slam victory. Ranked second in the world, the Northern Irish golfer clinched victories at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and the Scottish Open last year, indicating his strong form leading up to the Masters.
