But only three players in Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods have won consecutive Masters titles so the odds are stacked against Garcia to join the trio of legendary golfers.

Where can I watch early coverage of the Masters?

SKY SPORTS GOLF will be showing live coverage of the Masters throughout the tournament, as well highlights. 

Alternatively, the SunSport LIVE blog will have all the latest action.

Will they be showing Amen Corner on TV?

They will - but not until the full coverage starts.

Viewers can track players' progress before then on skysports.com with a live feed from 3.45pm-7pm during the first two rounds.

The footage will also be available on the red button and app.

 

Why can’t I watch all the Masters on TV?

The powers that be at Augusta are intent on keeping their club the most lucrative – and secretive – in the world.

Incredibly, it was not until 2002 that the men in green jackets finally decided to show all 18 holes of the leaders on Sunday.

This year, full coverage on Sky Sports on the opening two days will not begin until 8pm – although the show starts at 7pm.

It used to be worse.

For years there were not even any cameras on the front nine, so worried were the members that it would put people off actually coming to the course.
