96 were invited to Augusta National for this weekend's first major of golf, however with that one notable withdraw, it's down to 95 94. Adam Scott last year won on rainy Sunday, scoring his first major and thus welcoming in UNIQLO into the golf world. Could he do it again?

A Tradition Unlike Any Other: The Masters 2013

 

Yeah, we all remember Bubba Watson in the final round last year bursting into tears after he completed his round. Quite possibly, one of the most emotional moments in sport.

Now he'll be back to defend the title and will he once again sport the green jacket come Sunday?

95 others have something to say about that.

It's that time of year again. Springtime. Augusta National.

Last year, Charl Schwartzel had a heroic final round to surge to the top and win his first major. Who knows what will happen this year?

The Weekend That Was: April 8-10, 2011

Charl Schwartzel. Remember the name. What a round. The question was, what the fuck was wrong with McIlroy? Oh, and for the record, Mickelson 1 under, Toms 2 under.

The NHL Playoffs are set. Stars are done, more on that later.

Clijsters to miss the French Open? All because of an ankle injury suffered at a wedding.

And sadly, Sidney Lumet, the brilliant director of films such as "Network," passed away Saturday, aged 86. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

So there you have it, the weekend that was.

A Tradition Unlike Any Other...

Now that this year's NCAA men's and women's tournaments are done (congrats to A&M and UConn), we welcome back another seasonal tradition-the first golf major of the season at Augusta National!

Will Phil do it again for the umpteenth time?

Here are the tee times for the first and second round. Phil goes out later, so does David Toms. Tiger also with a mid-draw.

And for live T&S, and Westwood One radio...Masters.com!
