Dark clouds are gathering at Augusta National and it has nothing to do with the LIV Golf and PGA Tour feud, as wild weather rolls in threatening to wreak havoc at the Masters where play gets underway on Thursday.
The dispute between the established PGA Tour and the Saudi-bankrolled LIV was expected to be the storm enveloping the year's first major but all was calm on that front turning over the spotlight to Mother Nature.
"With the weather coming in, nobody knows what's going to happen," said Bubba Watson, a twice Masters champion and one of 18 LIV Golf members in the 88-player field. The five-times Masters champion's leg will be put to the test again on an Augusta National layout he knows better than anyone but is rated one of the more taxing walks in golf and will be more difficult in the challenging conditions."Oh, yeah, I've seen it," said the 15-times major winner.
Rain or shine world number one Scottie Scheffler and number two Rory McIlroy will be centre stage as they both try to put their names in the golf books.
