The Masters pairings feature a steady stream of Georgia golfers
From The Masters’s first tee times on Thursday day to its last on Friday, you have plenty of chances to watch Georgia golfers’ opening rounds. With a record eight Dawgs in the field, you can pretty much take your pick.
Players will remain in the same three-player groupings up until Friday’s cut.
Only LIV Golf’s Bubba Watson can boast those highly-coveted green threads. He won his first green jacket in 2012, and again in 2014.
The other seven Dawgs – all on the PGA Tour – have some work to do on and around Augusta National’s greens if they want to join Watson’s ranks.
Of all the Dawgs, only Brian Harman ranks inside the Official World Golf Rankings top 30 players.

Woof woof.

These Dawgs hope to continue some good barkin’ vibes at Augusta National
Unfortunately, Georgia women’s golfer Jenny Bae couldn’t pull off the victory at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur over the weekend.
Bae stormed to force a playoff with #1-ranked amateur player in the world, Rose Zhang, before losing by a stroke.
Still, Bae’s Bulldog nation stood and barked behind her.
How do you think that will sound through four rounds with all of these Dawgs at Augusta National?
Just like The Masters itself, hearing the patrons bark for all of these Dawgs is a tradition unlike any other each April at Augusta.
