There's nothing like watching the Masters in person. But to do that, you need tickets. Here's what they cost and how to get them.

Lee Elder was the first Black golfer in the Masters 50 years ago. His caddie that week was Augusta native Henry Brown, who has his own unique golf story.

Scheffler's success on the course is built on otherworldly skill -- but it's also built on an emphasis on fitness that's helped unlock his best golf.

Ten years ago, Jordan Spieth rushed through his lone coronation at the Masters. He still believes he can get another shot.

Every Masters is worth celebrating, no matter the competition.

Whether it’s surprise victors who came out of nowhere, epic collapses on the back nine or final-round charges that cemented the legacies of the greatest golfers to ever live, the Masters usually delivers.

But let’s be honest—some Masters have more pre-tournament buildup than others. And some Masters end up with more satisfying storylines.

The last time we enjoyed a drama-filled back nine on a Masters Sunday was 2019. Since then, it’s been a lot of clear victors like Scottie Scheffler (twice), Jon Rahm and Hideki Matsuyama.

Coming into the 2025 Masters, we’re lacking the punch of some storylines that have hung in the Augusta National air for many years.

When you finish a round of golf and think about what you could have done better, short putts are often the first thing that comes to mind. They seem so easy, makeable, and within reach. When they don’t fall it sticks with you. Missing short putts will happen occasionally, but your putter might make things harder than they need to be. Our 2025 Best Blade Putter test found the top three best blade putters for short putts.

Never Compromise Model 2

Our putter testing changed in 2025 with the introduction of the PuttView Handicap. While we tested 32 blade putters with 20 avid golfers, we now use this new metric to help golfers better understand how a putter performs at short, medium, and long ranges.

The Never Compromise Model 2 blade putter had the best PuttView handicap for short Putts. In testing, golfers made 68.97% of short-range putts using this model. This was nearly 10% better than the worst performer in the field.

The strong short-range performance from the Never Compromise Model 2 didn’t carry over to longer distances. Testers noted that the Model 2 lagged behind, especially in terms of speed control and alignment.

Do you have that one hybrid from 10 years ago that you just can’t let go of? You’re not alone. For some golfers, swapping clubs is part of the routine but, for others, making equipment changes can be tough. I tend to stick with what works so I get it.

While many tour professionals are known for updating their gear yearly, not all follow that trend. In fact, a few pros are still holding on to older clubs and, in pro golf, “old” can mean anything from two seasons ago or more.

Here are a few examples of older club models that some tour pros still haven’t given up on.

Justin Rose (TaylorMade M6 fairway woods)

The TaylorMade M6 woods were released in 2019. Justin Rose has a 15-degree 3-wood and 21-degree 7-wood in play. Rose has played several fairway models in his career and the M6 was in his bag in 2022. He has swapped the lofts; at one point, he had a 15-degree and 18-degree model. For 2025, his setup is 15 and 21 but he’s not budging from this M6 model.

Patrick Cantlay (Titleist 915F 3-wood and TS2 7-wood)

Patrick Cantlay still plays the Titleist 915F 3-wood, a club first released in late 2014. It’s been a long-standing fixture in his setup since 2017. He also uses the Titleist TS2 7-wood which was released in 2018.

Malbon and Jason Day have something special cooking for The Masters!

Following last year’s “sweatergate” incident, many wondered what Day and Malbon might bring out this year. The answer? Malbon x Futura, a collaboration with iconic artist Leonard McGurr, aka Futura.

The design language is flat out awesome. It pays homage to Augusta National Golf Club but does so in the style of street art and graffiti. The resulting collection is one that goes against the norm, but still plays by the rules.

The collection consists of a serious of polos, pants, jackets, vests, shirts, sweatshirts and other accessories. You can shop the Malbon x Futura collection starting now. Look for Day to wear select pieces this week at the Masters.

More spin on short shots means more control. Many golfers struggle to spin the ball because of inconsistent contact, worn-out equipment or improper mechanics. To get greenside spin, you need clean grooves, the right golf ball, a good lie. Get out to the practice area and give these tips a try.

Maintain loft through impact

The first time I saw one of these magnetic loft sticks, I thought it was a gimmicky training aid. I’ve since discovered that it can be helpful in situations like this (and it’s cheap).

Many amateur players do not preserve the club’s natural loft at impact. They force too much forward shaft lean and forget that the clubface needs loft through impact.

This drill aims to use the Magnetic Loft Stick as a visual aid to see how loft changes during your swing. Take a slow-motion swing and see if the stick points in the same direction at impact as it did at address.

By maintaining the right amount of loft, the grooves can engage properly and create the friction needed for spin. Too much forward lean can de-loft the club. Flipping the club through impact will cause inconsistent strikes. Focus on maintaining a consistent loft so the ball and the grooves have time to interact.

We’re opening up another phenomenal testing opportunity for our Forum members, this time focused on the new L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i and OZ.1 putters. We will be selecting eight testers who will be divided into Team Insert and Team Non-Insert. Each tester will receive either the OZ.1i, which features a stainless steel face insert, or the recently released OZ.1, which uses a full milled aluminum face. These two designs look nearly identical but L.A.B. believes the insert makes a meaningful difference. Now it’s time to see if our community agrees.

About the L.A.B. OZ.1i Putter

The OZ.1i is a departure from the more unorthodox shapes L.A.B. Golf is known for. Developed in part with Adam Scott, the OZ.1 has a more traditional mallet appearance while still being a fully Lie Angle Balanced putter. That design concept is central to L.A.B.’s philosophy, aiming to reduce torque and let the putter head stay square through impact without manipulation.

The big story with the OZ.1i is the milled stainless steel insert. According to L.A.B., it is firmer than aluminum and increases ball speed off the face. The aim is to deliver more speed and feedback, especially on longer putts, while still maintaining the balance and feel players expect from L.A.B. designs.

Also worth noting are the shaft lean options. Golfers can choose between a zero-degree lean, which works with traditional grips, or a two-degree forward lean, which pairs with L.A.B.’s Press Grips. This choice gives golfers more flexibility when fitting the putter to their stroke.

If you’re shopping for a new driver in 2025, there are a lot of great options. While we always recommend to know which driver is best for you, sometimes it helps to know how one driver compares to another. We looked at the Callaway Elyte driver versus the TaylorMade Qi35 and compared them head to head.

Distance

The Callaway Elyte scored 8.9/10 for distance in the best driver testing. Its average total driver distance was 248.85 yards. The TaylorMade Qi35 was about two yards longer at 250.07.

When compared side by side, the Qi35 generally posts higher ball speeds, about one mile per hour faster than the Elyte. Its spin rate was slightly higher than Elyte’s but still produced a solid rollout. If you’re specifically looking for distance, the Qi35 has a slight edge.

Distance is a big part of finding the right driver so the distance performance kept the Qi35 in the top 15 drivers of 2025.

Accuracy

The accuracy scores for the Callaway Elyte and TaylorMade Qi35 were almost identical. Out of 37 drivers, they finished just inside the top 20 with the Callaway Elyte having a slight edge. Some testers mentioned that the Callaway Elyte produced very few big misses.

Golf bags may not be the most glamorous piece of gear in a golfer’s setup but when they’re designed right, they can dramatically improve the playing experience.
