The Masters Opens Today

The Masters at Augusta National is, simply put, one of the greatest events in all of sports. With a loaded 87-man field ready to tackle one of golf's toughest tests, you can bet there will be some drama in the 2018 version of the tournament.
 
All eyes this year, of course, are on Tiger Woods as he aims to make a successful return to the Masters. Woods has been playing some great golf this year, collecting a pair of top-five finishes in preparation for Augusta, where he will be playing for the first time since 2015.
 
Aside from Woods, though, there is a lot of star power on the course trying to fend off Big Cat's attempt to add another major win to his collection, which is why this year's event is being billed as a can't-miss showcase.

Rory McIlroy is still looking for his first green jacket, while Jordan Spieth is trying to exorcise some demons and get back in the winning column at a major he has basically dominated since he started on the PGA Tour. Sergio Garcia will be attempting to repeat, while Rickie Fowler comes in on a hot streak looking for his first major.
 
ESPN will have coverage of the tournament Thursday and Friday and then things shift to CBS for Saturday and Sunday.
