The PGA Tour heads to Augusta National this week for the first major of the year, the 89th Masters Tournament. Defending champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler highlights a star-studded field looking to capture an iconic green jacket. Scheffler, who finished four strokes ahead of runner-up Ludvig Åberg last season at Augusta, seeks his third green jacket in four years. Jack Nicklaus (1963, 1965 and 1966) is the only golfer to win three green jackets over a four-year span. This year's winner also receives a $3.6 million share of the $20 million purse.
ESPN's family of networks and digital platforms will showcase the Masters, including live coverage of the first and second rounds beginning Thursday and Friday at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN and ESPN Deportes.
