Back in its regular April slot, having been shunted to October last year thanks to the pandemic, the 84th edition of the tournament also welcomes back fans.
With a limited number of patrons set to be allowed on the course to watch, the Masters 2021 will be the first major with onlooking spectators since 2019’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush, which should bring some welcome added atmosphere and tension to proceedings.
Last year’s coronavirus-delayed tournament saw Johnson shoot a 20-under-par 268 to set a new tournament record on his way to glory, and the current World No.1 is being heavily backed to retain his title this year.
