Masters 2026: First Round Underway

The 90th Masters Tournament is underway at Augusta National, following Rory McIlroy's breakthrough victory last year. Questions abound about whether McIlroy can become only the fourth player after Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods to successfully defend his title at the prestigious event.

Other storylines include whether world number one Scottie Scheffler can rediscover his form, if LIV Golf representatives Jon Rahm or Bryson DeChambeau can claim victory, and if contenders like Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, or Justin Rose can finally take the final step to Masters glory.
