Last Year's Masters: Rahm's Reign, LIV's Gain
Jon Rahm sailed to his first Masters win despite a disastrous start last year, leaving the likes of Koepka and Mickelson in his wake—all the more drama as they’ve jetted off to the LIV Golf series. Rahm’s calling for change in how players earn their stripes to majors, and who could ignore Tiger Woods’ quest for his sixth green jacket amidst aches and pains? The stage is set; the players are primed. Will Rahm defend his title and make history, or will the world's No. 1 Scheffler steal the spotlight?
Is Tiger prowling Augusta once more? You bet. The man's a legend on a mission, painkillers and all. With a field glittering with talent, this is anybody’s green jacket to grab—especially with McIlroy a jacket short of joining golf's grand slam legends. It's a quest for glory on the greens. Who will reign supreme at Augusta? Only the best swing will tell.
"I think if I were not to win this year, I’m probably going to regret not wearing it more often and just taking it everywhere," Rahm joked about his green jacket. The stakes? Eternal. The game? Unpredictable. The thrills? Guaranteed.
