Thanks to the new PGA Tour calendar for 2019, The Masters begins a run of four major championships in four consecutive months.

March's Players Championship, won by Rory McIlroy, teed-up the season's biggest and best events nicely as the Northern Irishman triumphed on a stunning Sunday at TPC Sawgrass.

McIlroy turned his focus to the career Grand Slam at Augusta following a 15th win on the PGA Tour.

Patrick Reed is the defending champion after claiming a first major of his career in 2018, while Tiger Woods warned that his preparations were "right on track".
