2020 Masters Tournament Preview

The world was turned upside down for the 2020 Masters with the postponement of the tournament until November. Rest assured, you will still see a big turnout of golfers for the biggest of the four golf majors and the quest for the green jacket. 

With the Masters being held in November, it will be interesting to see if the late year weather and course conditions make the tournament much different than the past or will it be just the same as it would have been if played in its usual April schedule slot.

The tee boxes and fairways at Augusta are Bermuda grass and the greens are bentgrass which gives them a smooth roll and a quicker putting surface. The greens at Augusta average about 6,150 sq./feet in size which is around the average for courses on the PGA Tour. On five holes water comes into play but on the back 9 of the course and there are 43 bunkers to avoid.

Horse For The Course at Augusta

Jordan Spieth

There are lots of guys that you can throw into the discussion of Horse for the Course for the Masters: Rory, Tiger, Phil but the one guys I like at Augusta is Jordan Spieth. He has a win and two 2nd place finishes and probably should have won 3 green jackets by now with how he plays there. His golf for the last two years has been off but he gets up for Augusta and I feel can win any year that he’s playing there. Last year was his worst finish (T21) but that juts means you get better betting odds if you take him to win!

Quick Stats for Jordan Spieth
– 1 Win
– Four Top 5 Finishes
– No Missed Cuts
