Masters Sunday Draws Largest Golf Audience in 5 Years and Will Zalatoris to Miss Remainder of the Season Following Surgery.

The Masters Sunday broadcast drew the largest golf audience in five years, with fans tuning in to watch Jon Rahm overcome Brooks Koepka to win his first Green Jacket. However, it wasn't all good news for golf fans as up-and-comer Will Zalatoris announced he will miss the remainder of the season following surgery.

Masters Sunday was the most watched golf broadcast in 5 years.
Was it the Full Swing bump? LIV vs PGA? Easter Sunday? The answer is yes. @Daniel_Rapaport

The Masters Recap

Wicked Weather, Falling Trees, and the Worst Pace of Play this Crew Has Ever Seen.

This weekend saw a true mano-a-mano battle between two of golf's biggest alphas on the game's biggest stage. Despite wicked weather, falling trees, and the worst pace of play this crew has ever seen, Jon Rahm eventually overcame Brooks to win his first Green Jacket.

Alongside the new Masters Champion, several incredible storylines emerged throughout the weekend. The star of the show was undoubtedly Sam Bennett, who gained more than a few fans with his unbelievable play. The fifth-year player at Texas A&M inspired us all and we hope to see him on Tour soon. A rogue Phil Mickelson, fully decked out in his LIV uniform, came out of lefty field this weekend and put on a dazzling show Sunday. He likely had Jay Monahan shaking in his boots.

At this time, I am not in a position to discuss Rory, Spieth, or Bernhard Langer.

It’s hard for me to put my emotions into words, but I want to thank everyone for supporting me. This one was for Seve. Having my family there made it even better. A dream come true! @TheMasters

After a disappointing Masters showing, Rory McIlroy announced his withdrawal from this week's RBC Heritage, a designated event. Since McIlroy has already missed one of the allotted elevated events this year, his absence could be costly.
