The Masters Tournament 2024: Sun to thunderstorms – mixed weather forecast

As the anticipation for the Masters Tournament 2024 builds, so does the curiosity about what weather conditions the renowned course will offer this time around. In recent years, the Masters has had its fair share of weather-related disruptions. In 2019, Tiger Woods’ iconic win was accelerated due to impending storms, while last year’s leaders navigated through 30 holes on a stormy Sunday. Falling trees also made plenty of headlines last year. Jon Rahm coped best with the conditions in the last edition and is once again considered one of the favorites in 2024.
