GOLF:
- Could Brooks Koepka return to the PGA Tour?
- Who is Sam Bennett?
- What’s the best ever finish for an amateur golfer at the Masters?
Unlike most PGA Tour events, only the top 50 players and ties after the first two rounds make the cut and get to play the weekend. All golfers’ purses and prize money will be released over the weekend. In 2022, the total prize money was $15 million, and has been increased this year. The 2023 winner will get $3.24 million!

Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm are the big favorites going into Sunday. Anything can happen at Augusta National, but it should be a two-horse race today.
