The 2024 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club is here as the game’s best players have made their way down Magnolia Lane.
Jon Rahm, who is making his first major championship start since he left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf, is the defending champion. He’s joined in the field by 2022 winner and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler —two wins on Tour so far this season (Arnold Palmer Invitational, Players Championship) — and Rory McIlroy, who is hoping this is the week he completes the career grand slam.
Apparel companies love to bring their best stuff for the Masters, and there are always some questionable style choices made during the week — looking at you, Viktor Hovland.
Here are some of our favorite fits — and a few bad ones — at the Masters.

The 2024 Players Championship is off and running at TPC Sawgrass’ famed Stadium Course in Ponta Vedra Beach, Florida, and this year’s event marks the 50th edition of the PGA Tour’s flagship event. A $25 million purse is up for grabs and the winner will receive $4.5 million, as well as 750 FedEx Cup points.
“Delight in the wildlife. That’s my idea of heaven.”
Tony Johnstone waited 20 years to get his first photograph of a gorgeous bushshrike, a bird that is easily heard, but it takes something of a miracle to be seen.
Johnstone’s favorite bird is the lilac-breasted roller, which is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya.
“It’s the most stunning bird you’ve ever seen in your life,” said Johnstone, who hails from Zimbabwe but now lives in Sunningdale, England. “I can’t drive past one without stopping to take it.”
When the DP World Tour heads to South Africa this week for the Jonsson Workwear Open, Johnstone will be there, colorfully calling the action at Glendower Golf Club from the booth.

A six-time winner on the DP World Tour, the 67-year-old Johnstone is one of golf’s great characters. Combine his passion for the game with his passion for the wildlife in Kruger National and the result is a television series called “Bush Hacking,” where Johnstone offers insight on birds and animals as he plays a round of golf through the African bush. The series lasted three seasons, and snippets are still shown when the tour plays events in the area.
Johnstone describes himself as fanatical about his photography, and he loves to share his discoveries on social media. His fascination with birds began about 25 years ago and now extends to creatures of all sizes. He’s fond of going out in Kruger National Park around 4:30 a.m. with his wife and staying out until 6 p.m.
“We just drive the whole day, and just delight in the wildlife,” he said. “That’s my idea of heaven.”
The talented Johnstone shared a number of his favorite wildlife photographs from over the years with Golfweek. Scroll on to get lost in another world.
The Florida Gators took the rubber match on Sunday against Miami, 8-4. Here are some photo highlights from the game.
Florida belted five home runs on Sunday to win the rubber match against in-state rival Miami, 8-4.
Jac Caglianone delivered one of his best pitching performances as a Gator, striking out 11 over six innings and recording three hits, including a no-doubt home run into the garage beyond right field.
Colby Shelton also came up big, smashing the first and final homer of the day. The second one — a two-run shot in the top of the ninth — put a bow on what was a good series win for the Gators.
Here are some photo highlights from Sunday’s game at Mark Light Field in Coral Gables.
Earlier this week, LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman announced Anthony Kim would be making his return to professional golf at 2024 LIV Golf Jeddah in Saudi Arabia at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club.
Kim’s last PGA Tour start was 12 years ago at the Wells Fargo Championship, an event he withdrew from after an opening round 74. His last win came at the Houston Open in 2010.
The former United States Ryder Cupper will not play for one of LIV’s teams and will compete as an individual for the rest of the season.
Check out some of the best photos of Kim’s return to golf at LIV Golf Jeddah, the league’s third event of the year.
Jerome Bettis is one of the first Notre Dame players I remember watching and rooting for on Saturdays before he ultimately went to the NFL where he starred for the Rams before turning into a Hall of Fame-caliber player for his accomplishments with the Steelers.
“The Bus” is celebrating his 51st birthday today and what better way to celebrate the former Notre Dame star and recent Notre Dame graduate than by looking at him through the years?
Look back now at “The Bus” through the years from when it left its depot in Detroit to where it’s parked now, in Canton, Ohio.
Tiger Woods, for the first time since the Masters last April, will play in an official PGA Tour event. Yes, he played a few times in December at the Hero World Challenge and PNC Championship, but this time, it’s the real deal.
The Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, is the PGA Tour’s third signature event of the year, and thanks to its elevated status, the field is loaded. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Max Homa, Viktor Hovland, Jordan Spieth and dozens of other stars will tee it up come Thursday morning.
In 14 starts at Riviera, Woods is winless. His best finish came in 1999 when he was the runner-up. At last year’s Genesis, Woods made the cut and eventually tied for 45th.
You can’t tell the story of the Super Bowl without quickly speaking about Joe Montana
You can’t tell the history of the Super Bowl without quickly bringing up the name Joe Montana.
Montana helped guide the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl titles, winning three Super Bowl MVPs along the way.
In total, he threw for 11 career Super Bowl touchdowns and 1,142 yards on Super Bowl Sunday, all while not throwing a single interception in a Super Bowl game.
His “Is that John Candy?” heroics in Super Bowl XXIII helped the 49ers to a comeback victory over the Bengals as he led San Francisco on a last minute drive to win the game.
Enjoy a look below at the best photos of Joe Montana at the Super Bowl below:
One of the most fun weeks on the PGA Tour schedule is here as a loaded field has made its way to Arizona for the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale.
Back-to-back defending champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler hopes to make it a turkey, but plenty of star power is looking to rain on his parade. The Texan will be joined by Justin Thomas, Max Homa, Jordan Spieth, Sam Burns, Matt Fitzpatrick and last week’s winner Wyndham Clark.
The People’s Open is a bucket-list event. If you’re a golfer, or just a fan of the sport, a trip to TPC Scottsdale to sit in the colosseum surrounding the par-3 16th is an absolute must.
Here are some of the best photos from the chaotic atmosphere of the WM Phoenix Open.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Pebble Beach Golf Links’s lone cypress logo is one of the best in the business.
The resort and the shops near the practice putting green are well aware that the logo is in hot demand and you have an endless array of options of logoed gear from just about any apparel maker you can think of. This is a well-stocked space and there’s also a pop-up AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am shop to go with a merchandise shop near the 17th hole.
The Lone Cypress Shop has just about everything, including the robe available in guest rooms at The Lodge and Pebble Beach spa products. I was digging some of the retro T-shirts, Vineyard Vines belts, the stuffed animal seal for my daughter and an old-school tournament pennant, which I haven’t seen for a long time.
Here’s a look at some of the merchandise on display this week at The Lone Cypress Shop and pop-up tournament shop at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
