CBSN
These are the top storylines to follow as the 89th Masters commences Monday in Augusta, Georgia
The 89th Masters takes place this week at Augusta National Golf Club, and there might as well be 89 storylines to follow. The most notable names are rounding into form as the 2025 PGA Tour season enters its first championship with the games of numerous golfers peaking at the precise right time just as the azaleas have bloomed and Augusta National awaits patrons from the world over to swarm its gates.
Rory McIlroy rolls into Georgia with a wave of momentum at his back and the weight of a mountain on his shoulders. Seeking to become the sixth player to complete a career grand slam, his march to Augusta across first three months of the season has been just about flawless, only turning up the volume on the discussion.
McIlroy is hardly the only golfer being conversed about entering the Masters, of course. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has a chance to join rare company by winning a third green jacket in four years. World No. 3 Xander Schauffele could join perhaps the rarest company imaginable. Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm may represent LIV Golf's best shot at winning, but it is another name who may, in fact, have the best shot at bringing a green jacket back to that tour.
