The best of the best in golf will go head-to-head this week at Augusta National in Augusta, Georgia for the 2015 Masters, which is considered THE biggest of golf’s four major tournaments.

Preview
It’s a good thing Tiger Woods is used to being in the spotlight, because everyone will be watching to see whether he is back to being the dominant force he once was.
This is the first tournament he is playing in after deciding to take time off from the sport that made him a God. Now we will all see if the time away helped restore his confidence and his swing.
Besides Tiger, other golfers to watch are Rory Mcllroy, who will complete the Grand Slam with a win here, Bubba Watson, Jordan Spieth (runner-up last year) and Jimmy Walker, a late bloomer who has an impressive stroke on the greens.
