Practice rounds this week revealed greens and fairways that are unusually firm and fast, with no rain in the forecast to soften conditions — a recipe that could reward long hitters and punishing precision from tee to green.
Top‑ranked Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Rory McIlroy were among the first to gauge the course’s temperament, adjusting to the firm turf and undulating surfaces ahead of Thursday’s opening round. Australian Cam Smith noted the turf’s fuller, fast characteristics — suggesting players who strike the ball crisply will gain an edge.
McIlroy, world No. 2 and fresh off completing a career Grand Slam, is gunning to become one of the few back‑to‑back Masters winners, joining legends like Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.

Notably absent from this year’s field are five‑time winner Tiger Woods and three‑time champion Phil Mickelson, though emotions swirl around their off‑course stories.
