On Wednesday, April 4th,  Tiger Woods and Phil Mickleson played their first practice round together at the Masters which was held in Augusta, Georgia.

This is a Tiger’s first Masters since 2015. Due to back injuries, he has not competed at the level he is capable of. He has been battling a back injury for three years now and is just now getting into the swing of competitive golf again.

The Masters is a four-day golf tournament, and it is classified as a major tournament. There are four major tournaments every year: the Masters, the U.S. Open, The Open (British Open), and the PGA Championship. These four tournaments are considered the greatest honor to win. The Masters is at the same course every year, the Augusta National Golf Club. It is an extremely private and expensive club to be a member at. The field at the Masters can vary from the best in the world to an amateur golfer.

Scott Raden, an avid golfer, commented on this year’s Masters: ” I was happy to see everyone playing their best golf.”

On Masters Sunday, Patrick Reed was crowned the champion beating out Jordan Speith and Rickie Fowler.
