The most wonderful time of the golf season has arrived once again as the beauty of April surrounds Augusta National Golf Club this week. The 2024 Masters is set to be another star-studded affair with a loaded field featuring the best golfers in the world. Jon Rahm will be defending the green jacket, while Scottie Scheffler enters as the favorite looking to win his second Masters in three years. They just happen to be the top two golfers in CBS Sports’ ranking of the Masters field from 1-89.
Rory McIlroy will once again seek the completion of his career grand slam, and five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods will be back in action for just the second time this season. Most others in the field will be looking to don the green jacket for the first time on Sunday.
Heavy rains and thunderstorms have already caused Augusta National to announce that Round 1 will not begin before 9 a.m. ET, which means the Round 1 tee times and groupings for the Masters will be adjusted once a new start time is released; however, you can still check out the order in which the players will go off the first tee (likely in the afternoon). Plus, you’ll be able to watch every shot from the four primary Round 1 featured groups at the Masters.
While attending the Masters is a dream for many, simply being able to watch golf on the grandest stage of them all is an incredible treat each year, and we here at CBS Sports are thrilled to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Masters throughout this week.
CBS Sports offers extensive, week-long coverage across all its platforms with its traditional 18-hole broadcast coverage beginning with the third round on Saturday and final-round action on Sunday. Jim Nantz, in his 39th consecutive year covering the Masters, serves as host for the 37th time. 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman joins Nantz as the lead analyst at the Masters for the second time. Nantz and Immelman link up with CBS Sports’ incredible golf team, including on-course reporter Dottie Pepper and the legendary Verne Lundquist, who will be calling his final Masters.
Scheffler, McIlroy and Rahm top the odds board. Just behind them are the likes of Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth, who are expected to be hotly in contention. Spieth, the 2015 Masters champion, is still seeking to recover from the frustrating end to his 2016 tournament, while Koepka hopes to complete the third leg of the career grand slam with a PGA Championship and U.S. Open already under his cap.
Don’t miss our Masters picks and expert predictions and the nine golfers most likely to win the Masters before play begins Thursday.
