The most beautiful weather of the golf season has arrived again as the beauty of April envelopes Augusta National Golf Club this week. The 2024 Masters is expected to be another star-studded affair with a packed field featuring the world’s best golfers. Jon Rahm defends the green jacket while Scotty Scheffler enters as the favorite looking to win his second Masters in three years. They just happen to be the top two golfers on CBS Sports Master’s field ranking from 1-89.
Rory McIlroy is again looking to complete his career Grand Slam, while five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods is back in action for just the second time this season. Most others in the field will be looking to pull on the green jacket for the first time on Sunday.
Heavy rains and thunderstorms caused Augusta National to delay the 2024 Masters with Round 1 starting about three hours late, moving Masters first round times and groups, but the game is officially underway. Follow live Masters leaderboard updates and highlights through Round 1.
While attending the Masters is a dream for many, just being able to watch golf on the grandest stage of all is an incredible treat every year, and we here at CBS Sports are excited to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Masters all week long.
CBS Sports offers extensive, weeklong coverage across all of its platforms with its traditional 18-hole broadcast beginning with Saturday’s third round and Sunday’s final round action. Jim Nantz, in his 39th consecutive year covering the Masters, serves as host for the 37th time. 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman joins Nantz as lead analyst for the Masters for the second time. Nantz and Immelman join the incredible CBS Sports golf team, including on-course reporter Dottie Pepper and the legendary Verne Lundquist, who will call his final Masters.
Scheffler, McIlroy and Rahm top the odds leaderboard. Right behind them are players like Xander Schaufele, Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth who are expected to be hot in the fray. Spieth, the 2015 Masters champion, is still trying to recover from a disappointing end to his 2016 tournament, while Koepka is hoping to complete the third Grand Slam leg of his career with the PGA Championship and the US Open already under his belt hat.
