The biggest names in golf are gearing up for the 2019 Masters knowing they all have genuine shot at lifting the prestigious trophy.
Remarkably, none of the top 10 ranked players in the world have ever won the Masters including top contenders Justin Rose, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy.
World No.12 and four-time Masters champion Tiger Woods is the highest ranked player to win the competition though his last victory came in 2005.

Why can’t I watch all of the Masters live?
Tournament officials at the Augusta National Golf Club limit TV coverage over fears that too much live broadcasting would cut attendance figures at the course.
Over the years, more of the tournament has become available for fans at home, with mainly the opening days affected by the TV blackout as opposed to the weekend drama.
The official Masters website also exclusively airs coverage from several parts of the course including Hole 16 and Amen Corner.
