AUGUSTA, Ga. — The most wonderful time of the golf season continues Friday as the beauty of April is surrounding Augusta National Golf Club with skies now clear after being a bit darker earlier in the week. The 2022 Masters is off and running with another star-studded affair led by a field that features most of the best golfers in the world.
Though Hideki Matsuyama is defending the green jacket, he’s off to a slow start sitting T19 after an even-par 72 across the first day. The only two names who topped the Caesars Sportsbook oddsboard to open the Masters that are inside the top 10 after 18 holes are Cameron Smith and Scottie Scheffler, who respectively sit one and two shots back of Round 1 leader Sungjae Im. Smith is the new odds leader at 11/2 with 2020 champion Dustin Johnson sitting at 6-1 entering the second round on Friday.
Tiger Woods is back the Masters field for the first time since 2020 as he plays a professional golf event for the first time in 17 months. He got off to a strong start Thursday with perhaps the most remarkable 71 in Masters history, including a rousing birdie on the 16th and a handful of par saves that kept him in the hunt as he continues to pursue his sixth green jacket.
While attending the Masters is a dream for many, simply being able to watch golf on the grandest stage of them all is an incredible treat each year, and we here at CBSSports.com are thrilled to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Masters throughout this week.
