Here is a quick look at the 2024 Masters, which begins with practice rounds on Monday and four days of competition beginning Thursday.
The field
There are currently 88 players in the field. One more could be added as the winner of this week’s Valero Texas Open will qualify. The field includes 13 LIV golfers. There are five amateurs, including Georgia Tech’s Christo Lamprecht. Including four of the amateurs, 19 players will be competing in their first Masters.
Course changes
There is only one change to Augusta National for the 2024 Masters. A new tee box at the par-5 second hole adds an additional 10 yards and was moved slightly to the left. It should bring the right fairway bunker more into play. The hole now measures 585 yards. No. 2, known as Pink Dogwood, typically plays as the easiest hole during the Masters. Last year, it had a scoring average of 4.637.
