Scheffler Shines

Scheffler, the world’s top ranked golfer, was the favorite to win the Masters after already winning two tournaments in 2024. He did not disappoint. At one point on the final day, Scheffler was in a four-way tie for first place. But he shot 5-under-par on his final 11 holes to cruise past the competition.

After the tournament, Scheffler expressed his feelings towards becoming a two-time Masters champion.

Despite his string of success in 2024, Scheffler is not yet satisfied. He said he plans on getting back to work and continuing that success.

Scheffler’s second Masters win won’t even be the highlight of his year. He and his wife, Meredith, plan to welcome their first-born child in the coming weeks. Despite Scheffler planning to take time away from golf to spend with his family, he reminded his fellow golfers that he’s still going to compete at the highest level.

Notable Names

One of the most surprising competitors was Swedish golfer Ludvig Åberg, who finished second in his Masters debut, shooting 7 under. Åberg would have become the first golfer to win the Masters in their first appearance since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.

Tommy Fleetwood, Max Homa and Collin Morikawa shot 4-under-par, coming in a three-way tie for third place. Day 1 leader Bryson DeChambeau finished tied for sixth place at 2 under with Cameron Smith.

Golf legend Tiger Woods finished last among all golfers who made the cut at 16 over. Phil Mickelson, making his 31st Masters appearance, shot 8 over.
