The Masters Tournament is Back: April 10-13, 2025!

Excitement is in the air as golf enthusiasts everywhere prepare for one of the sport’s most prestigious events—the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Mark your calendars for April 10-13, 2025, because this year’s tournament promises to be an unforgettable experience!

Defending Champion Scottie Scheffler Looks for a Repeat

All eyes are going to be on Scottie Scheffler, who comes into the tournament as the defending champion after winning his second Masters title last year. Many experts and fans expect him to be a strong contender again, aiming for his third victory. Scheffler’s abilities and focus have made him a favorite, but golf is notoriously unpredictable—something we see year after year at this legendary event.

Expanded Coverage Makes it Easier for Fans

In case you can’t make it to the lush greens, don’t worry! Coverage of this year’s Masters is getting a significant upgrade. You can catch all the action on CBS Sports, which will provide options for viewing on Paramount+ in addition to traditional cable broadcasts. This means you’ll have plenty of ways to follow your favorite players live and stay updated on the leaderboard.

The Competition is Fierce

With 96 players lined up for the Masters, the competition is expected to be intense. Players ranked in the world’s top 10 have a realistic shot at the title, and surprises are always part of the equation at Augusta. Remember when Danny Willett took the crown in 2016 or when Trevor Immelman shocked everyone in 2008? Surprises like these keep fans on the edge of their seats!

Meet the Long Shot Contenders

While the usual suspects are generating buzz, let’s not forget about the underdogs. There are five “long shots” who are worth keeping an eye on this year:

  • Sepp Straka: Currently ranked No. 13, he has three PGA Tour wins under his belt and finished T-16 at Augusta last year.
  • Robert MacIntyre: Ranked No. 17, he is in excellent form with top finishes in his previous Masters appearances.
  • Corey Conners: At No. 21, he is coming off three straight top-10 finishes and has a previous best of T-6 at the Masters in 2022.
  • Akshay Bhatia: Ranked No. 23, he turned pro at 18 and aims to improve on his T-35 finish from last year.
  • Michael Kim: At No. 50, he has made five top-15 finishes worldwide in 2025 and is making his second appearance at the Masters.

Who’s In, Who’s Out?

This year features some notable names as well. Rory McIlroy is back, hoping to nail down that elusive Grand Slam. Meanwhile, Xander Schauffele is hungry to clinch his first Masters title. Sadly, the legendary Tiger Woods has been ruled out due to a ruptured Achilles injury, marking yet another chapter in the ongoing saga of his recovery— fans are definitely feeling his absence.

Invitations and Qualifications

In the Masters tradition, the top 50 players in the world rankings at the end of last year automatically secure their invitations, along with previous Masters champions who enjoy a lifetime exemption. Additional players gain entry based on their performances in other major golf tournaments and events throughout the past year.

Catch All the Action

Coverage kicks off at 2 PM on both April 10 and 11, with updates and broadcasts also available on Sky Sports. For fans who love multiple angles and detailed updates, various viewing options will enhance your experience during the tournament.

The countdown to the Masters is officially on! Get ready for four days of thrilling golf, heart-stopping moments, and perhaps even a few unexpected twists. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just tuning in for the excitement, you won’t want to miss this blockbuster event!
