Tee times and tournament history for Georgia Bulldogs at 2021 Masters

There are six former Bulldogs competing at the 2021 Masters. Here is tournament history and tee times for the former Dawgs in Augusta.

Spring is in the air in the first week of April, which means the annual Masters Tournament in Augusta, Ga., is upon us.

COVID-19 forced the postponement of last year’s tournament that was eventually played in November. Former South Carolina Gamecock Dustin Johnson secured his first ever green jacket and will look to defend his title as the tournament begins its first round of play on Thursday.

Georgia golf has had a very strong presence on the PGA Tour and just last year at the 2020 Championship, eight Bulldogs made the cut. The field is no different at the 2021 Masters. Six Georgia Bulldogs (seven if you count Patrick Reed) will tee off for the 85th version of the tournament.

Here they are…

Two former Bulldogs in contention at The Players Championship

Two former Georgia bulldogs are at the top of the leaderboard in Sunday’s final round of The Players Championship on NBC.

Former Georgia golf alums Brian Harmon and Chris Kirk are high on the leaderboard of The Players Championship headed into Sunday’s final round.

Harmon is currently tied for fifth at 9-under par and just 4 shots behind leader Lee Westwood at 13-under-par through three rounds.

The Savannah, Ga., native was a three-time 2nd team All-American selection at Georgia before turning pro in 2009. Harmon is through the first hole and is even-par on the day so far. Harmon finished tied for 8th at The Players Championship in 2015 and 2019.

Kirk is currently tied for 13th at 7-under-par and 6 shots off the leader Westwood. The Knoxville, Tenn., native is one stroke over par on the day through two holes. Kirk’s best finishes at The Players Championship were in 2013 and 2015, where he tied for 13th and in 2017, he finished tied for 12th.

Georgia has always been well represented on Tour and Harmon and Kirk are just the latest examples. UGA had 10 players in the field of The Players Championship this week and now two find themselves in contention on a beautiful Sunday in Palm Valley, Florida.
