Sky Sports' Jamie Weir and Ali Stafford look back at some of the storylines from the practice days at The Masters, including Rory McIlroy, questionable outfits and garden gnomes... Tiger Woods can make more Masters history this week with a record-breaking 24th consecutive cut, but the former world No 1 continues to have eyes on a bigger prize and an unlikely bid for a 16th major title. Woods has completed a 72-hole tournament just three times since his unsuccessful title defence at Augusta National in November 2020, with the 48-year-old having to withdraw mid-round from last year's tournament and unable to finish the Genesis Invitational in February.
Bryson DeChambeau took the lead at The Masters with 3D-printed irons approved by the USGA. The irons, made by Avoda, have single-length and unique features for improved performance.

He underwent a significant body transformation to enhance his power but later slimmed down due to health concerns.
During the par-3 contest at The Masters, Bubba Watson's nine-year-old daughter Dakota showcased exceptional putting skills, drawing comparisons to legendary putters like Ben Crenshaw.

Rickie Fowler won the contest, but Dakota's performance stood out. Bubba Watson expressed pride in his daughter's skills, hinting at her potential future in golf. The par-3 contest featured heartwarming moments, including hole-in-ones and family involvement, setting a joyful tone before The Masters tournament.
Bryson DeChambeau expressed concerns about the division in the sport of men's golf, emphasizing the need for a sustainable direction and the best for the game. The LIV Golf players have faced criticism for joining the rival league for financial gain, but the conditions allowing this were created by the PGA Tour's emulation of LIV's business model. The split between the tours reflects long-standing discontent rather than a sudden schism, with both sides now moving beyond superficial claims of promoting the growth of golf.
Scottie Scheffler, the world No 1, is a top contender at the Masters, near the lead after a bogey-free start, but he will exit the tournament if his wife Meredith goes into labor sooner than expected as they await their first child.

The 2019 Masters Tournament was the 83rd edition of the Masters Tournament and the first of golf's four major championships in 2019, held between April 11 and 14 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.Tiger Woods won his fifth Green Jacket, and fifteenth major, by one stroke ahead of three runners-up. It left him one shy of Jack Nicklaus's record six Masters wins, and three short of his record eighteen major wins. At age 43, he became the eleventh oldest player to win a major, and the second oldest Masters winner, again only bettered by Nicklaus who won at age 46. It was 11 years after his last major win, the 2008 U.S. Open, and 14 years since his last Masters win beating the previous record of 13 years held by Gary Player. Due to the high profile of Woods, and his storied fall from the top of the game due to personal issues and injuries, the victory generated a large amount of publicity around the world, and is regarded as one of the great comebacks in the history of sports.Woods only emerged to lead the tournament in the final round, when Francesco Molinari, who had been leading the tournament, hit his ball into the water on the 12th hole and then again on the 15th after hitting a tree. It was the first time Woods won a major when not leading after the 54th hole.Most of the media, and the Las Vegas bookmakers, placed Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, and Dustin Johnson the pre-tournament favorites. McIlroy, the only player to finish in the top ten in the previous five Masters, came into the tournament as the Players champion and with seven consecutive top-10 PGA Tour finishes, but could only finish tied for 21st. Two-time runner-up Rose came in as world number one, but missed the cut. Johnson, who came in as world number two, and had a dominant win in the 2019 WGC-Mexico Championship, finished tied for second.A Masters record 65 players made the cut, including three amateurs. The leading amateur, and winner of the Silver Cup, was Norwegian Viktor Hovland who had qualified as the U.S. Amateur champion. He finished tied for 32nd at 3-under-par.It was also the first time three players had shot 64 or better in a single round at the Masters, as Patrick Cantlay, Tony Finau, and Webb Simpson all shot 64 in the third round. This was partly attributed by the media to the soft conditions, lack of wind and accessible pin positions.
Kevin Yu of Taiwan shot a bogey-free, 8-under 64 on the North Course at Torrey Pines to take a one-shot lead over Patrick Cantlay and Ryo Hisatsune in the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open. The eight lowest scores came on the North Course, which generally plays easier than the South Course. The final two rounds will be played on the South Course. Cantlay had just one bogey and fared better than Xander Schauffele and Max Homa, both of whom played the South Course. Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark had the best score on the South Course with a 5-under 67.
The top two players, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, will play together with Xander Schauffele at the Masters. Defending champion Jon Rahm is paired with Matt Fitzpatrick and amateur Nick Dunlap.

The tournament starts on Thursday April 11 with wall-to-wall coverage on Sky Sports Golf.

During the third round of The Players Championship, US golfer Max Homa's drive went into the water and his subsequent shot almost hit a spectator filming him, causing a loud crack. Despite the close call, no one was injured, and Homa finished the hole with a quadruple-bogey nine, ruling him out of contention. Homa expressed relief on social media that no one was hurt and highlighted the potential danger spectators face being close to golfers. The incident serves as a reminder for fans to be cautious at golf events.

Much attention was given to Tiger Woods, who made his first PGA Tour start since the 2020 Masters after suffering severe injuries to his right leg and ankle in a February 2021 car accident. Woods made the cut and finished the tournament 47th, visibly limping for much of the last two rounds. Defending champion Hideki Matsuyama finished tied for 14th.There was no winner of the Silver Cup (prize for low amateur), as no amateur made the cut.

The 43rd Ryder Cup Matches were held in the United States from September 24–26, 2021, on the Straits course at Whistling Straits, Haven, Wisconsin. Europe was the holder of the Ryder Cup after its win over the United States in 2018 at Le Golf National. The United States, fielding its youngest team in its history, regained the Ryder Cup in 2021 with a record 19–9 victory. This was the largest margin of victory in a Ryder Cup since 1967. Continental Europe joined the Ryder Cup in 1979; this is Europe's heaviest defeat in Ryder Cup history. Combined with its 2016 win at Hazeltine, the United States won back-to-back Ryder Cups on home soil for the first time since 1979 and 1983.Due to several tournaments, including a number of majors, shifting their schedules due to the COVID-19 pandemic (including one major being canceled and one being moved to November), the Ryder Cup was originally scheduled to take place only five days after the final round of the rescheduled U.S. Open, from September 25 to 27, 2020.On July 8, 2020, the PGA of America announced the postponement of the event to September 24 to 26, 2021, because of the pandemic. The next Ryder Cup was rescheduled to 2023 and further odd years, while the Presidents Cup was also rescheduled into 2022 and further even years, resetting the annual rotation of both events to how they were scheduled before the September 11 attacks in 2001.

Fans in the US can watch the first two rounds on ESPN and CBS for the weekend. UK viewers can tune in to Sky Sports Golf for coverage.

The Masters Tournament (usually referred to as simply the Masters, or as the U.S. Masters outside North America) is one of the four men's major golf championships in professional golf. Scheduled for the first full week in April, the Masters is the first major golf tournament of the year. Unlike the other major tournaments, the Masters is always held at the same location: Augusta National Golf Club, a private course in the city of Augusta, Georgia.Amateur golf champion Bobby Jones and investment banker Clifford Roberts founded the Masters Tournament. After his grand slam in 1930, Jones acquired the former plant nursery and co-designed Augusta National with course architect Alister MacKenzie. First played in 1934, the Masters is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour. The field of players is smaller than those of the other major championships because it is an invitational event, held by the Augusta National Golf Club.The tournament has a number of traditions. Since the 1949 Masters, a green jacket has been awarded to the champion, who must return it to the clubhouse one year after his victory, although it remains his personal property and is stored with other champions' jackets in a specially designated cloakroom. In most instances, only a first-time and currently reigning champion may remove his jacket from the club grounds. A golfer who wins the event multiple times uses the same green jacket awarded upon his initial win unless he needs to be re-fitted with a new jacket. The Champions Dinner, inaugurated by Ben Hogan at the 1952 Masters Tournament, is held on the Tuesday before each Masters and is open only to past champions and certain board members of the Augusta National Golf Club. Beginning in 1963, distinguished golfers, usually past champions, have hit an honorary tee shot on the morning of the first round to commence play. These have included Fred McLeod, Jock Hutchinson, Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Elder, and Tom Watson. Since 1960, a semi-social contest on the par-3 course has been played on Wednesday, the day before the first round.Nicklaus has the most Masters wins, with six between 1963 and 1986. Tiger Woods won five between 1997 and 2019. Palmer won four between 1958 and 1964. Five have won three titles at Augusta: Jimmy Demaret, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Nick Faldo, and Phil Mickelson. Player, from South Africa, was the first non-American player to win the tournament, in 1961; the second was Seve Ballesteros of Spain, the champion in 1980 and 1983.The Augusta National course first opened in 1933 and has been modified many times by different architects. Among the changes: greens have been reshaped and, on occasion, entirely re-designed, bunkers have been added, water hazards have been extended, new tee boxes have been built, hundreds of trees have been planted, and several mounds have been installed.

The Match is a series of exhibition match play golf challenge matches that began in 2018. The event features major professional golfers or other notable athletes facing each other in a head-to-head competition. The format has varied throughout the run of the event; in all of the events, sports entertainment elements were included, particularly with the inclusion of sports betting elements in that the contestants wager portions of their prize on side bets during the contest. TNT Sports (formerly Turner Sports) has televised all eight iterations of the event. Since 2020, two iterations of The Match have been held each year, one in the spring or early summer and the other (usually) on Thanksgiving weekend. The Thanksgiving contest features professional golfers, often paired with an athlete from another sport; the spring contests, taking place during the PGA Tour season, normally consist solely of non-golfers, which to date have consisted of current or retired American football and basketball players competing during their respective sports' offseasons.
