The first of golf's four major championships is set to get underway today at Augusta, with the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and defending champion Scottie Scheffler all among those hoping to win the 2023 Masters.
There will also be 18 LIV golfers in action at the Masters, despite turning their backs on the PGA Tour to join the controversial Saudi-backed tour. While the PGA have banned all LIV rebels, Augusta National organisers confirmed last year they would not be instituting a ban.
They said in a statement they wanted to "honour the tradition of bringing together a pre-eminent field of golfers", while also criticising the rebels for "diminishing the virtues of the game and the meaningful legacies of those who built it".
