When does The Masters finish?

The Masters 2021 is finally upon us and returns to its signature springtime slot.

World No 1 Dustin Johnson surged to a record-breaking victory when the tournament was played under unfamiliar conditions last November, with no patrons permitted to attend the event. This time, organisers are keen to ensure there is no similar dismantling, particularly after US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau once again pricked ears by doubling down on suggestions that the course plays easier than its par 72. The greens are said to be incredibly firm and slick this time out, with little mercy afforded to any players.

Rory McIlroy was still hoping to complete the career Grand Slam, however, he missed the weekend cut. Ahead of this week, McIlroy has been urged by legendary instructor Butch Harmon to go “back to the basic fundamentals” rather than attempting to match DeChambeau’s imposing distance.
