The Masters Invitational 2024: Who Will Win the Coveted Green Jacket?
The excitement is building as the 88th edition of the Masters Invitational at Augusta National approaches, with golf fans eagerly anticipating who will don the prestigious ‘green jacket’ at the end of the week. The American contingent is looking strong, with Scottie Scheffler leading the pack as the favourite. His consistent iron play makes him a force to be reckoned with, but the question remains – will his putter cooperate?
Joining Scheffler in the spotlight are rising stars like Sam Burns and Akshay Bhatia, who are sure to put on a show with their impressive ball-striking abilities. Xander Schauffele, a Canadian-born player, has been showing remarkable consistency on the tour and could be a dark horse in the competition.
Of course, all eyes will be on Tiger Woods as he aims to make history with a record-breaking 24th consecutive cut at the Masters. Despite concerns about his physical fitness and lack of tournament play, Woods remains a formidable contender and a fan favorite.
The tournament also sees the clash between the ‘Renegades’ of the LIV Golf league and the establishment players of the PGA Tour. Former champion Patrick Reid and current ‘green jacket’ holder Jon Rahm are among the LIV players to watch, with Joaquin Neieman emerging as a strong contender with his recent winning streak.
Rory McIlroy, still in search of an exclusive Masters title, remains a perennial favorite with his powerful game. With only four Englishmen in the field, including major winner Matt Fitzpatrick, the competition promises to be fierce.
As the first major of the year kicks off on Thursday, golf enthusiasts can expect thrilling action and fierce competition as the world’s best players vie for the coveted ‘green jacket’ at Augusta National. The stage is set for an unforgettable week of golf.
