Scheffler Leads Masters Favorites, Woods Faces Uncertainty

0:00It's March 30th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and celebrity news. Today, where the headlines shine, powered by AI. Scotty Sheffler heads into the Masters as the top betting favorite at plus 500 odds, fresh off two prior wins there in nearly three years. At world number one, Bryson Deschambo sits close behind at plus 1000 after grabbing his last two LIV golf titles. While Rory McAroy and John Rom round out the early contenders, Tiger Woods adds major uncertainty this year after his March 27th arrest in Florida for driving while intoxicated. Cops found no booze, but pegged him as impaired, and he spent eight hours in jail refusing a urine test. With 93 players in the field, Augustus sticks to its under 100 tradition, and Woods has never missed a cut here as a pro. Woods have endless ways to cast the action, starting Thursday and Friday at 1 p.m. Eastern on Prime Video, then ESPN through 730 p.m.

1:02Weekend coverage hits Paramount Plus at noon, and CVS from 2 to 7 p.m. Plus Masters.com streams like Aiman Corner and Keyholes. The course looks mostly unchanged beyond early blooming flowers and a 10 yard trim on the 17th tee to hit 450 yards. Across the fairways, players get a slick, new 3 level services building with Jim, Lockers, and Dining, plus a fresh candy bar concession for ticket holders. Last year, Rory McAroy sealed his career Grand Slam in an epic playoff, and 22 rookies joined this time, including hot shot Chris Gotter up with, four wins already this season. As golf's spring ritual unfolds amid all the sports shifts, expect Augusta to deliver that classic green jacked drama once again.
