The 2024 Masters Tournament, which took place in Augustana, Georgia from April 11th to 14th, was full of action. Here’s a quick summary of the most notable moments of this year’s Masters.
Scheffler Takes Home 2nd Masters Victory
Scottie Scheffler is the champion at this year’s Masters Tournament, which marks his second victory in three years. Scheffler has held the top spot in the world rankings for over two years now and clinched his first major championship victory at the 2022 Masters Tournament.
The 27-year-old American found himself neck and neck with Ludvig Aberg, Max Homa, and Collin Morikawa as they reached the eighth hole. That’s when Sheffler expertly sank three consecutive birdies, solidifying his lead for good. Aberg, in his first Masters appearance, ultimately settled for second place, with Sheffler winning by four strokes at 11 under par.
Max Homa had this to say about Scheffler’s victory:
“He is pretty amazing at letting things roll off his back and stepping up to very difficult golf shots and treating them like their own…He’s obviously a tremendous talent, but I think that is his superpower.”
The 2024 Masters winner is awarded a whopping $3.6 million in addition to the coveted green jacket.
Woods Makes History at 100th Masters
While seasoned champion Tiger Woods did not finish anywhere near the top (ultimately finishing in 60th position), he still managed to make history at the 2024 Masters. This year’s tournament marked Woods’ 100th Masters round. Woods has five previous Masters wins and is one of the most iconic golfers in history, so seeing him tee off at his 100th Masters was pretty special for fans.
Woods commented on his performance at this year’s Masters, saying:
“I didn’t have a very good warmup session, and I kept it going all day…Just hit the ball in all the places that I know I shouldn’t hit it. And I missed a lot of putts. Easy, makable putts. I missed a lot of them.”
