RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: They say experience is worth its weight in jackets at Augusta. No one seems to have slipped that message into the pocket of Nicolai Hojgaard. This is the 23-year-old Dane's first Masters and yet he defied conventional wisdom and the elements to post a 73 that was more impressive than it might sound. His four-under-par tally gave him possession of the early clubhouse lead, but it also represented the value of resilience on a day when gusts touched 25mph.

The daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky arrived at the annual Par 3 contest to support her husband, Dustin Johnson, on Wednesday. Gretzky wore a dress from women's golf apparel line Goldie Bird as she looked on from the crowd during Johnson's practice round. Her look was curated by celebrity stylist Zoe Gofman.

The great and the good of golf gathered for a last supper on Tuesday night at the Masters Champions Dinner, one of the final traditions before the action finally begins at Augusta. Defending champion Jon Rahm hosted the night and the Spaniard selected an Iberian theme for his dinner guests. The 29-year-old started with a mix of tapas and pintxos including spicy Basque chorizo and even 'Mama Rahm's Classic Lentil Stew' - and dish made to his grandmother's recipe by chef Jose Andres, who helped Rahm design the menu.

The Masters are back, this time in Augusta National, with the world's best golfers set to compete for the Green Jacket in Augusta National. Jon Rahm is back for the historic tournament as the defending champion, but Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Brooks Koepka are among those eager to dethrone the Spaniard. Although most of the discussion will be based on the course, the players' wives and girlfriends will certainly be attracting a lot of attention. Paulina Gretzky, the wife of former Masters champion Dustin Johnson and the niece of ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, are among them.

Pimento Cheese or Egg Salad? Patrons at the Masters have been divided for decades over this topic. Well, I'm referring to two famous sandwiches that have been on sale at Augusta National since the 1930s and have since been deemed a cult classic, not only in the United States, but also around the world.

Many people would have backed a Spaniard to win this week's LIV Golf tournament in Miami, MAX WINTERS. Sergio Garcia is one of the few people who predicted it would be Sergio Garcia.

He is joined on the leaderboard by England's David Skinns, who shot a bogey-free 65 in his debut at the tournament, Andrea Jaeger (66), Argentina's Alejandro Tosti (68) and Belgium's Thomas Detry (67).

EXCLUSIVE: During Tiger Woods' final round of the 2020 Masters, he shot a septuple bogey, but his reaction to the horror hole demonstrates why he is golf's best of all time, according to his fellow authors. At Augusta National's historic par-three 12th to card a 10 - the highest score on any hole in his professional career. Woods wasn't really in contention on the final day of the pandemic-postponed major championship, which was ultimately won by Dustin Johnson, but the blunder saw him decline from three-under to four-over for the tournament. The 15-time major champion was tumultuous, but he went on a wild ride with birdies on five of his final six holes rather than wringing in the towel. A recent book, which provides an incredible deep dive into Woods' legendary career, has revealed something which his coworkers have found inspiring.

When Johnson first stepped onto the golfing scene in 2022, it sold it for $150 million. LIV's turbulent rise rocked golf, with the breakaway luring some of golf's most popular names away from the PGA Tour, with those who jumped ship receiving a lot of backlash. During Season 2 of Full Swing, Paulina spoke about the aftermath of her husband's move, revealing that the amount of abuse she suffered compelled her to take a step back from social media.

Byeong Hun An summed up the scene at Waste Management Phoenix Open this weekend as 'completely out of control on every hole.' The People's Open' is a festival that is renowned for providing one of the best scenes on the PGA Tour. However, An is correct, this weekend's festival was marred by a select few people taking it too far.

OLIVER HOLT CHIEF SPORTS WRITER Dustin Johnson, the world number one, suggested in Las Vegas over the weekend that everyone should attend a LIV Golf tournament at least once in their lives. 'I would encourage you to come out and watch because you're going to love it,' he said. On Saturday, I had a free day and LIV had been selling free tickets to their tournament at the Las Vegas Country Club like confetti. I'd never been to a LIV event. But DJ promised I'd like it and DJ is known as one of sport's great thinkers, so why not? Well, I'm sorry to break it out straight away, but I didn't like it. Well, I may have liked it if I was being charged $150 million to like it, as Johnson is. Like Jon Rahm, I may have enjoyed it even more if I was being paid $500 million to like it.

DANIEL MATTHEWS OF LAS VEGAS: The majority of the curtains have been closed along a row of houses that line the Las Vegas Country Club's ninth fairway. The outdoor swimming pond - enclosed by iron gates - and the manufactured fairways would provide a sanctuary from the arid desert in more typical times. The chaos on the nearby strip brings a measure of calm. This is a part of the city that never sleeps. Well, almost. This week, not this week. This week, America has descended on Las Vegas and LIV Golf has arrived in Sin City, on the eve of the very first Super Bowl here, the Saudi-funded venture is staging its first ever event in the desert.

Exclusive INTERVIEW BY DANIEL MATTHEWS IN LAS VEGAS: The strip is starting to glint once more: dark clouds have dispersed and drizzle is no longer threatening to dampen Las Vegas' long party ahead of Super Bowl Sunday. A fog still hangs at the nearby Country Club, but it is not too late. After learning last week that Strategic Sports Group, a conglomerate of sports' team owners, had reached a $3 billion funding agreement with the PGA Tour, LIV Golf landed here shrouded in confusion. It comes eight months after golf's old order negotiated a proposed merger with LIV's Saudi backers, the Public Investment Fund. It puts the rebels in purgatory. A more concrete picture had yet to emerge by the time of Thursday's shotgun launch.

Clark led by a single shot over Ludvig Aberg of Sweden heading into Sunday's tense final round. Clark shot a course record 60 on Saturday, boosting him to 17-under parity. However, he couldn't keep that momentum going on Sunday, as The PGA Tour said all Pebble Beach facilities had been closed and that the first group would not arrive until noon local time. All volunteers and spectators were banned from attending the course on Sunday morning. The tournament could be called after 54 holes due to a forecast of heavy rain and hurricane-force winds.

ISABEL BALDWIN AT MAYAKOBA, MEXICO: Tyrrell Hatton said his LIV Golf debut had the feeling of the first day of school, but that finding his feet would take a little while. The 32-year-old defected to the breakaway at the death just days before his 2024 season opener in El Camaleon, Mexico, and it appears he's going to take a lot longer than that for the offseason signee to adjust. He had previously expressed reservations about a defection due to his commitment to the Ryder Cup and the majors, but eventually gave in after a reported $64 million bid was rejected. For the first time this weekend, he followed Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm into battle. However, although the Spaniard immediately repaid LIV's multi-million dollar bid, Hatton would have been left wondering if his big bet was all worthwhile.

On Friday morning, LIV Golf's season-opening event in Mexico was thrown into disarray when'more than half of the field' was struck down with a bad bout of food poisoning. Dustin Johnson, Bryson Dechambeau, Brooks Koepka, Cameron Smith, and Jon Rahm, the new $500 million man, are among the first tournaments of 2024 in Mayakoba. However, early on Friday, LIV officials' news indicated that over half of the field is ill, and will be unable to participate.

ISABEL BALDWIN AT MAYAKOBA, MEXICO: LIV Golf's third since erupting on the scene in 2022, and with it comes the start of 'Rahmaggedon'. In Brooks Koepka, the circuit already had a 2023 major winner on its roster. In fact, Cam Smith had a 2022 major winner, as well as other major champions in the likes of Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau. However, the capture of the reigning Masters champion just eight months after he was announced at Augusta National held the most enduring feature to date. And, with Rahm - and his new teammate Hatton - at the fairways in all his Legion XIII regalia at Mayakoba, Mexico, LIV is about to find out if its $500 million coup will pay off.

When the fly-on-the-wall docuseries returns next month, golf legends Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas are among the golf superstars set to appear in the second season of Full Swing. Fans are taken on a journey with some of golf's most well-known players. With the introduction of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, one season one was embedded in the sport as it fractured. Now, Netflix has announced that season two will premiere on March 6, with a cast of well-known celebrities set to appear.

Neither Newcastle nor Sunderland were joking about the less than four years ago, with both clubs struggling under new ownership that was announced by the fans and in dire need of reform. But 2021 heralded seismic transition on both directions of the Tyne, first with Sunderland's takeover led by French businessman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and Newcastle's blockbuster October sale to a consortium dominated by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund later this year.
