The best week of the golfing year is finally here: It's Masters Week. This is not my first Masters article (wrote one and published it about a month ago that you can find here) and it is nowhere near my last. Took a few weeks off from writing the articles but that doesn't mean I was not paying attention and keeping track as I always do - with the NHL season winding down and the MLB season kicking off I was just focusing on different markets, I still watched plenty of golf.
To kick things off, I want to dive into another outright I am taking.
THE MASTERS DATE, START TIME, AND WHERE TO WATCH

MASTERS Prediction
Well, with the form Scottie Scheffler is in we are finally getting Rory at odds longer than 10-1 and I will bite, have to. With seven top eight finishes in his last eight major championship starts, he has been knocking on the door and is so close to knocking it down.
At this point, the Masters feels like the biggest mental block we will ever see for a golfer of his quality. The man has done absolutely everything there is to do in the game: four major titles, Ryder Cups, three FedEx Cups, 38 professional wins worldwide.
The man from Hollywood, Northern Ireland is ranked second in the world, the best driver of the golf ball on the face of the planet and after that session with legendary swing coach Butch Harman, he is coming off of one of his best approach weeks in a long time.
The man has been playing some boring golf (by his standards) but that is what he needs this week - let it come to him. 22.3 SG T2G in his last four events leading to the Masters and is coming off his best round on TOUR this season. I'm all in on Rory.
