Breathtaking, Classic, Legendary and Beautiful. Just some of the words that help describe an event that captures the majestic beauty of Augusta National Golf Club. A four day tournament where Legends are born and heroes are made. Simply put, there's nothing better than "The Masters".
There is no truer sign of spring than the opening round to "The Masters". Nature is at its finest during the broadcast while the music is soothing and relaxing – capturing the spirit of golf's greatest tournament. A tournament where the entire world stops for four days to shift their attention to Augusta, Georgia, watching the first of four majors and inevitably the beginning of a run towards the "Grand Slam".
No one has ever won the "Grand Slam" – winning "The Masters", "US Open", "British Open" and "PGA Championship" all in one calender year. To no one's surprise, the closest was Tiger Woods who won four straight majors but over two calender years. Needless to say, all eyes will be on Tiger who begins his yearly quest for glory. But everyone will be watching Tiger for much more – wanting to see how his game has been affected after being away for so long. Will Tiger even make the cut? And just how will Tiger feel out on the course fresh off, arguably, the toughest few months of his life.
The 74th Masters is once again filled with storylines and drama…
Will Tiger win his 5th Green Jacket?
Will Ángel Cabrera win his second straight Masters?
Will Ernie Els finally capture the Green Jacket? He's certainly peaking at the right time as he has two wins under his belt in 2010.
Will a young up and coming star be vaulted into the spotlight – someone like Camillo Villegas?
And most importantly, what will the lasting image of the 74th Masters be? There have been so many great memories at this tournament, but the one I'll never forget was back in 2005. Tiger Woods on the 16th Hole… It was a moment that made me get up from my seat and cheer in the middle of my living room, a moment that I'll never forget… one of those "Where were you when…"
A reminder Global Television is your home for the final two rounds of the 74th Masters and the return of Tiger Woods. Coverage starts Saturday April 10th and ends with the presentation of the Green Jacket on Sunday April 11th.
