Welcome to the 2023 Masters week
AUGUSTA, GA – It's finally the Masters Tournament week, a tradition unlike any other. The 2023 edition will be the 87th running since it all began 89 years ago in 1934 at Augusta National Golf Club, the course which golfing pioneer Bobby Jones developed into the one of the grandest stages in golf. The Masters is quite considered as golf's first major championship since the Official World Golf Ranking era began in 1986, except in 2020, when the tournament was moved to November due to COVID-19 outbreak.
Last year, Texan rising star golfer Scottie Scheffler outlasted the opposition to capture his maiden major triumph. But this year the current world number one will repeat last year's performances, with other headlines including world number two Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy's eyeing for completing grand slam and world number three Spaniard Jon Rahm poising for his green jacket as tribute to Severianno Ballesteros who won in 1980 and 1983 and Jose Maria Olazabal who also won twice in 1994 and 1999.
But one more man to watch around Augusta spotlight is Tiger Woods, as the five-time champion looks to equal Jack Nicklaus' six green jackets, as if this green jacket will goes to Tiger's son Charlie, who soon to take the golf world by storm.
