It’s been awhile since there has truly been this kind of anticipation for golf’s biggest event of the year. The Masters is always major, but with some of the games best back, healthy and playing well, there’s a different feeling in the air this year at Augusta National. Everything kicks off on Thursday morning with no shortage of storylines for the 87-man field.
Tiger Woods is back, and he’s getting it done each week. Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, Justin Thomas, Jason Day and world No. 1 Dustin Johnson have all been winners in 2018. They all headline a field that seems ripe to produce an all-time tournament for the 2018 chapter in Masters history.
One of the annual joys of following the Masters are the multiple live streaming options, including the Featured Groups, Amen Corner and Holes 15&16 channels. They give fans the chance to see every single swing from some of their favorite golfers, and this year it means getting to watch every single swing from Woods in his return to competition at Augusta National.
Woods will be paired with Marc Leishman and Tommy Fleetwood for the first two rounds of play, and on Thursday their entire round will be one of the two morning options on the featured groups channel. The afternoon has heavy hitters as well, with McIlroy, Johnson, Jon Rahm and Justin Rose among the players that will get full 18-hole coverage during the first round of play.
