Major Championship weeks are unlike any other tournament week on the calendar. Although most Tour event weeks typically start on the Monday with players arriving for practice rounds, Majors have an entirely different feel – and the Masters, with all its traditions, is quite unique.
The tournament itself starts on Thursday 11 April (see all of the Masters tee times), which is when round one action gets underway. However, Masters week is action packed, and there is lots going on for patrons and television viewers to enjoy before the honorary starters get the 2024 tournament underway, as is tradition.
Players have been making that special drive up Magnolia Lane this week as they look to fine-tune their games at Augusta National.
On Tuesday evening, past champions gathered for another great Masters tradition – the Champions Dinner. This year’s menu was selected by 2023 Masters champion, Jon Rahm, although it’s always a rather private affair – so, sadly, no live streams of the Spaniard tucking into his acord-fed Iberian ham cured pork loin.
On Wednesday, a ‘little’ pre competition, competition also takes place for those players who fancy a bit of extra short game practice – the famous Par 3 Contest, which will start at 12pm local time. Live streaming video coverage will be available on Masters.com at 2pm.
Then it’s on to the main event, with the honorary starters getting the 88th Masters tournament off and running.
Rounds one and two will take place on Thursday and Friday, respectively, although with rain forecast at Augusta National, there could be one or two disruptions to play.
As it stands, the cut will come after the second round ends on Friday. Round three will take place on Saturday, and the final round will take place on Sunday. Here’s hoping a Monday finish is not required.
So, give those cushions on the sofa a good puff, for you'll be wanting to watch as much of the action as possible.
