The new year is almost here as we await the arrival of 2020.

That means the countdown is on the first major of season.

ESPN got a jump on things with the unveiling of its first commercial promoting coverage of the 2020 Masters.

The ad ran on Saturday during the two College Football Playoff semifinals, the first an LSU blowout of Oklahoma and the second a thriller in the Arizona desert between Clemson and Ohio State.

ESPN’s commercial is a quick 15 seconds and features the iconic song “Georgia On My Mind” by Ray Charles.

If that doesn’t get the juices flowing, well, we’re not sure what will.

ESPN will have live coverage of the first and second rounds of the Masters on Thursday and Friday, April 9-10.

Christmas comes early for Kevin Na with Masters invite

Kevin Na received his invite to the 2020 Masters at Augusta National and shared the letter on Instagram.

Christmas is still a few days away, meaning most people will need to wait another two days before opening their presents.

Kevin Na got a pretty big gift on Monday.

The 36-year-old shared a letter on his Instagram account any of us would love to receive from Fred Ridley: A cordial invitation to the 2020 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.

The four-time winner on the PGA Tour, who most recently had a dramatic victory in October at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas, has finished as high as T-12 twice at Augusta National, first in 2012 then again at 2015.
