Calling your sport “endlessly unsatisfying” is an unusual step when you’ve just secured your second Green Jacket, but that’s what Scottie Scheffler did in his champions’ press conference. The World No.1 showed Tiger-esque closing ability as he won his second Masters title in two years and, aged 27, he is only behind Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Seve Ballesteros as the...

I followed Rory McIlroy for his final round in another hugely disappointing Masters, asking the patrons if the four-time Major Champion would ever win the Career Grand Slam. Jack and Tiger may disagree, but Rory will never win The Masters if Augusta’s patrons’ views are anything to go by. I won’t lie, I’m starting to agree with them. As I walked Augusta...

Tiger Woods reflects on his 2024 Masters and reveals his plan for the rest of the year. It’s tough to say whether Tiger Woods’ 2024 Masters should be viewed as a success or failure. On the positive side, he set a new record for consecutive cuts made at Augusta, made it through four rounds at a physically demanding golf course without...

It was a day to forget for the five-time champion who tumbled down the leaderboard with a 10-over-par third-round horror show. The one saving grace for the man who has made a record-breaking 24 consecutive cuts at the tournament is that his ‘rusty’ 82 in Saturday’s third round didn’t fall on his 100th Masters appearance. That milestone will arrive for Tiger Woods...

Defending champion Jon Rahm was left ‘feeling sour’ despite an improved level-par 72 in Saturday’s third round, dejected at not being in contention for Sunday. Jon Rahm’s week couldn’t have started any better after his Basque-inspired Champions Dinner had buttered up both sides of golf’s divide, leaving a sweet Milhojas de Crema y Nata taste in the mouths of the Green...

Former World No.1 Jason Day has drawn plenty of attention with his clothing choices at The Masters. Some love it. Some hate it. The powers that be at Augusta National are be among the latter. While the Major champion’s baggy trousers were the butt of a lot of jokes on social media during Thursday’s first round, drawing comparisons with MC Hammer...

Is Augusta’s food appetizing as well as affordable? I rate all of the food and drinks at the Masters concessions stands I’ve been at The Masters since Monday so, naturally, I’ve already worked my way through the full menu at the concessions stands around the course. But is a pimento cheese sandwich really any good? And what’s a moon pie? Read...

The Masters shop is a unique experience, just like everything else at Augusta National. The Masters is unlike any other golf tournament, and The Masters shop is unlike any other golf shop. Other tournaments have shops or “retail villages” in large tents, thrown up for the week of the event and gone just a few days later. Not at The Masters. Here you’ll...
