We're Back: Early Sights from the 2026 Masters

The Masters has arrived. Man, it feels good to say that again.

We saw some familiar faces out at Augusta National on Sunday, including defending champion Rory McIlroy (playing with his dad), now two-time dad Scottie Scheffler, and Adam Scott. The Northern Irishman’s hat game has been quite strong through his first few days on property.

On Monday, however, the course was littered with the world’s best as they prepared for the year’s first major championship. And yes, that includes Jason Day, who is once again rocking Malbon threads that are causing waves.

After watching the ANWA over the weekend, I couldn’t wait to see some early morning photographs from around the course on Monday morning, and let me tell you, they didn’t disappoint.
