Jordan Spieth at the 2014 Northern Trust Open

2014 Masters Tournament

Masters Primed for a Newcomer in a Green Jacket

Fuzzy Zoeller has lost track of how many interviews he’s given before the Masters, surprising for a guy who plays a limited schedule on the Champions Tour and stopped competing at Augusta National five years ago.

He doesn’t need to follow golf to figure out what’s going on.

Jordan Spieth started his rookie season without a card, finished at No. 10 on the money list, became the youngest American to play in the Presidents Cup and ended his remarkable year at No. 22 in the world. This will be his first Masters. Patrick Reed won three times in seven months, including a World Golf Championship, and told a national television audience he felt he was among the top five in the world. This will be his first major.
