AUGUSTA, Ga. — What happens in Augusta on the second Sunday in April has an enormous impact — all positive — on the careers and legacies of individuals. But if the usual knot of toadies is to be believed, the 87th Masters could have a similar effect on LIV Golf if one of its players is in position to risk a contract violation by covering his team logo with a green jacket come Sunday evening.
It’s a plausible scenario, even if reps were lacking and prep wanting. A handful of LIV players who competed last week at Orange County National wouldn’t be considered surprise winners this week at Augusta National. Greg Norman’s foot soldiers comprise more than a fifth of the field, so if you discount those destined to exit early for reasons of geriatrics or youthful inexperience then the odds are high that one will play himself into contention, perhaps all the way to Butler Cabin.
