The Masters is one of the most exciting times of the year for golf fans. While we're all spending large sums on polos, gnomes, hats and other collectible goodies, the players in the tournament are preparing to compete. They're going through practice rounds, studying greens (especially the ones that have been redone since 2025's Masters), learning fairways, testing out the rough and giving themselves the best chance of success at August National.
I don't think I truly understood how much preparation goes into getting ready for The Masters until I sat down and chatted with Ben Griffin, the current 16th-ranked golfer on the OWGR list. While his comeback has been one for the ages, no golfer's story is complete until they play at Augusta National.
