Golf fans now have to wait less than 100 days for the 2023 Masters.
The 87th edition promises to be one of the best yet after a whirlwind year in the game.
When April is finally upon us we hope that we will see Tiger Woods make another charge at the major.
Woods, now 47, dominated the news coverage of the 86th Masters when he returned to major championship golf following his horrific car crash.
We’ve also got Phil Mickelson returning to Augusta after skipping last year’s major for the first time since 1995.
Accompanying Mickelson – a three-time green jacket winner – will be accompanied by a posse of LIV Golf players. As many as 16 from LIV will be in the field.
Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley confirmed LIV players would be welcome in Georgia last December.
Although he condemned the likes of Mickelson, arguing the players’ actions in joining the breakaway tour:
“Have divided men’s professional golf by diminishing the virtues of the game and the meaningful legacies of those who built it.”
Naturally, you might be wondering exactly who is playing.
