“College GameDay” will have a special location on Nov. 14, 2020.

ESPN’s college football pregame show will hosted at the Augusta National Golf Club, which is home to The Masters. The prestigious golf tournament is set to take place Nov. 12 through Nov. 15 in Augusta, Georgia.

It will be the second time the GameDay crew has come to the state of Georgia. GameDay previously went to the Auburn at Georgia game in Athens. The Masters and “College GameDay” will be held without fans due to COVID-19.

The PGA Tour hasn’t had fans in attendance at any of its events since the return of the PGA golf tournaments following an initial break in March. The Masters is normally conducted in April. This year, Augusta, Georgia’s most famous sporting event will have a much different feel.

One thing that will not change is former Georgia Bulldogs will be competing for the green jacket. Former University of Georgia golfing standout Bubba Watson has won the tournament twice, most recently in 2014.

In addition to Watson, Kevin Kisner and Brendon Todd have already qualified for The Masters. It should be an exciting tournament as always.

Will “College GameDay” pick winners of the Masters? Top games for the Nov. 14 weekend in college football include: LSU versus Alabama, and Michigan versus Wisconsin. The Georgia Bulldogs are set to travel to face the Missouri Tigers that week in an SEC East battle.
