Jon Rahm looks to win back to back Masters for first time since 2002
The 2024 Masters returns! It’s the first major of the 2024 PGA season and one of the most anticipated events in the world of golf, as players get set to tee off April 11-14 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, with one round airing each day. The first two rounds broadcast live on EPSN and rounds 3 and 4 broadcast live on CBS.
Coming off what was an exceptional 2023 season, 29-year-old Jon Rahm won his second major of his career and earned his first Green Jacket, finishing with a four-stroke victory at the 2023 Masters, putting on a dominant and consistent performance against formidable foes in Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka. Heading into this year’s Masters tournament, the Spaniard could potentially be the first backto-back champion since the great Tiger Woods in 2001-2002.
With his recent Masters victory, as well as his 2021 U.S. Open victory under his belt, Rahm has shown tremendous poise, maintaining a consistent form throughout the majority of his career, displaying a proven ability to excel under pressure and solidifying himself as one of the top golfers heading into this year’s tournament.
While Rahm’s recent play has etched his name as a top contender this season, the competition will be as tough as ever with the likes of world No. 1-ranked Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick all aiming to get a crack at winning their first major trophy of the year.
The 2024 Masters is set to be a thriller, as Jon Rahm looks to become the first repeat champion since Tiger Woods.
