<p>Ahead of the total eclipse on Monday, the Masters Tournament handed out special branded <a href="https://x.com/MartySmithESPN/status/1777331916821119343?s=20">solar eclipse glasses</a> to the practice round patrons. The sun’s path of totality isn’t over Augusta National, but viewers will still be treated to a partial view of the eclipse, which will require eye protection.</p>



<p>In a highly anticipated return, Masters champion Tigers Woods is suspected to be playing in this weekend’s tournament. The <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/pga/2024/04/07/masters-2024-tiger-woods-makes-first-appearance-of-masters-week/73237649007" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Augusta Chronicle</em></a> <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/pga/2024/04/07/masters-2024-tiger-woods-makes-first-appearance-of-masters-week/73237649007" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Sunday that Woods arrived at the course at about 3:10 p.m. ET and walked the first hole with his friend and business partner Rob McNamara. Woods didn’t hit a drive, but he did practice chips and putts for “about 14 minutes.” The golfing legend has made the cut at the Masters 23 times in the past. </p>

<p>The 2024 Masters Tournament begins on April 11 and runs through April 14. It is held at the Augusta National Golf Course and includes a purse of $18 million.</p>



<p>The favorite to win this year’s tournament is former Texas star Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler recently won at TPC Sawgrass’s The Players Tournament and is the world No. 1 at the moment. Other golfers with better than 20-1 odds this week include Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, and 2023 Master’s champion Jon Rahm.</p>

<p>Coming from behind following a rain delay on Saturday in the third round, Rahm put on the iconic green jacket after <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/jon-rahm-wins-2023-masters-at-augusta-national-pga-tour-major/">winning The 2023 Masters</a>. When play was paused during the third round, Brooks Koepka led the field with a four-stroke lead at 13-under. It didn’t take long for him however to slip up and bring his score closer to the field — tying Jon Rahm after the fourth hole of the final round.</p>



<p>Two holes later, Rahm took the outright lead away and continued to build on it. Rahm carried it to the end with a fantastic day, and finished at 12-under par to win the prestigious jacket. The win pushed Rahm into exclusive company with Seve Ballesteros as the only two golfers from Spain to win two different major championships.</p>



<p>While Koepka struggled on the day, Rahm stayed steady despite a small hiccup down the stretch of the first nine. Koepka did cut his four-stroke lead down to three after the 16th hole, but Rahm continued to hit excellent shots and kept his lead through the finish.</p>
