The first major of 2022 is upon us - The Masters begins on Thursday at Augusta National in Georgia, USA with a packed field vying for the coveted Green Jacket and the $2,070,000 prize money. Last year the tournament was won for the first time by an Asian golfer, with current world number 12 Hideki Matsuyama winning convincingly.
He is likely to be joined in the field by the returning Tiger Woods, with the 46-year-old having recovered from a car crash which could have ended his career in 2021. However, the legendary player is yet to confirm his attendance with any appearance set to be announced at the last minute - as a former champion he has an automatic entry whether or not he chooses to take it.
There is also a new name for fans to look out for in the form of new world number one Scottie Scheffler who enjoyed recent match play success.. The 25-year-old has won three times on the PGA Tour this year with wins in the Phoenix Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational and WGC Matchplay all to his name in 2022.
