The Masters is finally happening.
It was pushed back about seven months but the fight for the green jacket will go on.
Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson and Patrick Reed are among those fighting for the major victory.
Woods is the defending champion. The Masters was his first major title victory since the 2008 U.S. Open. Not much has changed since then. He didn’t win any other major after the Masters and has still struggled with back issues that have plagued him during the latter half of his career.
DeChambeau was the U.S. Open winner. He and his long drives are among the favorites to win the tournament again.
Here’s what you need to know before the tournament tees off.

Why was the Masters postponed?
The coronavirus pandemic shut down the sports world in March forcing the PGA Tour to change its schedule and put golf on hold for a few months. The Masters, U.S. Open and PGA Championship were all postponed because of the pandemic – the only major that wasn’t played was The Open Championship.
Will fans be in attendance at the Masters?
Even though some PGA Tour events had fans this year, the Masters will not have any fans at the tournament. It will be an especially quiet Masters this year. Tournament officials made the announcement earlier in the year.
