Of course, the biggest date on the horizon for most golf fans will be April 11th – the opening round of the 88th Masters Tournament. For the first time in 2024, the world’s top golfers will all be treading the same fairways. We will see the likes of Rahm, Smith and Koepka going toe-to-toe with McIlroy, Hovland and Scheffler with vast individual riches as well as tour bragging rights on the line.
