The Masters is here!!! How to watch and keep up.
+Nelly Korda is one of the best golfers ever
GM. This is Easy Pars. The golf newsletter that absolutely loves the week of the Masters Tournament
Here’s what we’ve got for you today:

Who doesn’t love Masters Week?
We, again, think this Masters is going to be one for the record books.
Last week, we wrote how Tiger and Rory are prepping for the major. It’s also rumored that Tiger shot a low score on the front nine practice round.
He’s been at the course, since super early this morning, too:
Good morning from Tiger at Augusta National.

Rory came in 3rd at the Valero and is making those small changes that could make a big difference. Rahm is itching to defend his title. Scheffler seems like the only competition is his mindset.
Not to mention all the great guys who’ve never won (aside from Rory), hungry for their piece of Augusta.
Let’s go!
As a reminder, we’re going to be live-posting, live-tweeting, beginning Thursday. Follow us here: https://twitter.com/easyparsgator
Now, some tweets to get you excited about this week:
Time to defend.

Some great golf last week!
Nelly Korda seemingly can’t be stopped. She’s cementing her spot as one of the best golfers of all time.
FOUR wins in a row.

When players go on streaks like this, it’s never boring. And Korda has had a couple of heated playoffs in the 4 Ws, so it’s even more exciting.
Speaking of playoffs, Akshay Bhatia was on fire at the Valero!
He took a commanding lead on day one, kept it until ending up in a playoff. He would go on to win against Denny McCarthy — winning a spot in the Masters!
That’s right, after a phenomenal playoff victory, Akshay’s on his way to Georgia!
Here’s a short video he made, thanking everyone:
"See you guys at Augusta."

A video exploring the potential (and likely) advantage left-handed golfers have at Augusta. 10 mins and worth the watch. (Your boy, E. Gator, is a leftie.)
Highlights from Valero’s final round, including Bhatia’s playoff win.
We’re very excited for the “Q at Myrtle Beach” qualifier. They’ve begun interviewing participants. It’s a great tactic to draw 👀. So far, they’ve interviewed Fat Perez and Luke Kwon.
