Another question on everyone’s mind is whether this will finally be Rory McIlroy’s year to win the Masters. McIlroy has been in good form, winning twice in five starts and not finishing worse than…

Augusta National is home to one of the most organized traffic jams, making it a tolerable experience despite the rain-soaked conditions.

The 2025 Masters Tournament is set to feature five amateur golfers, who, in addition to the tournament winner, will also have a chance to end up in Butler Cabin after the final round. The low amateur in the field will have the opportunity to sit across from Jim Nantz and Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley, continuing a tradition that has seen notable amateurs such as Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay, and Tiger Woods in recent years. This year’s five amateurs include Jose Luis Ballester, Noah Kent, Hiroshi Tai, Evan Beck, and Justin Hastings. Jose Luis Ballester earned his spot in the…
