NOTEBOOK:

MCILROY’S TITLE DEFENCE

Returning as Masters champion for the first time, McIlroy seeks consecutive wins — a feat rarely achieved at Augusta.

Only Jack Nicklaus (1965-66), Nick Faldo (1989-90) and Tiger Woods (2001-02) have managed this before, so Rory could join a very exclusive club.

THE LIV VERSUS PGA NARRATIVE

With players like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau in form on the LIV Tour, it will be interesting to see if this can carry over into the more formal nature of a major at Augusta.
