AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The 2023 Masters has arrived, and four days of pristine golf at the nation's best course have begun with the best hoping to play all 72 holes at Augusta National. The action began Thursday as Round 1 sets the stage for the rest of the year's first major.
The grounds are filled to capacity with patrons for the second straight year, and anticipation has reached a fever pitch. Tiger Woods' aim to return to form while continuing to rehabilitate his leg is not exactly off to a flying start. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler is seeking to become the first since Tiger to defend his green jacket at Augusta, and Rory McIlroy is attempting to clinch the career grand slam in his ninth try.
There is so much to follow this week that it can be overwhelming at times. No worries: We have you covered. On Thursday alone, you can watch the entire first rounds from Woods, Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Tony Finau and others.
