Season's Greetings

Join the Party! • From course design, events, travel opportunities and access to some of the coolest gear the game has to offer, the 8AM brands have you covered

Bear- Worthy Bags

The Ladies Who Launch • Heading into its 2025 edition, the Augusta National Women's Amateur has had five winners. So far, two have become LPGA stars, but all of them (even the heartbroken runners-up) have shined.

Up close with Dylan Dethier Robert Maclntyre • He's gunning for a win at the Masters this year, and maybe even a few more majors. Pure fairy tale, you say? Well, the Scotsman has made them his specialty.

ON THE NUMBERS / MASTERS EDITION • There's data behind every swing. We crunch it so you don't have to.

Eats Major Meal Deal • The Augusta chicken salad sandwich—a recent addition to the Masters menu—is delightful and delightfully simple

Worth a Shot Cap Back for Flush Hits • Practicing “hat backward” aligns your shoulders for pure strikes

Watch & Learn Seve Ballesteros • Dashing. Daring. The late, great Spaniard and five-time major champ oozed cool with a swing that defied time.

Rounds Old-School Cool • The Sazerac, New Orleans’ signature cocktail, is a throwback that still feels fresh

Short Game Chef The Must-Have Shots at Augusta

Kostis + McCord Like most, Peter and Gary favor Scottie to keep his green jacket. But it won't be a walk in the park.

SHORT GAME MAGIC • The 2025 crop of wedges are, as always, forged and casted things of beauty. The new group also packs serious tech and innovative loft/bounce combos and grinds to help you hit any shot possible. So, when we call them game changers, we mean it.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WEDGE FITTING • If your wedges don't fit, then you might as well quit

WHAT'S A WEDGE GRIND? • The bottom of any wedge holds the secret to snuggling a short shot close to the hole or hitting a chili- dip. Here's what you need to know.

WEDGE BOUNCE EXPLAINED • We all get clubface lofts. But did you know your wedge's sole has loft too? Finding the right one will make all the difference in the world.

Accessories FEEL YOUR WAY

Training Aids SCORE A BUNDLE

FANTASTIC FOURS • An inside look at PING's latest driver superhero lineup—the G440s—proves there's tech for everyone

THE LINEUP

The 2025 Masters Preview

HOW SWEDE IT IS • Although it would seem to be the case, Ludvig Åberg, last year's surprise runner-up at the Masters, did not come out of nowhere. In fact, the 25-year-old's Swedish roots explain everything about him and his exquisitely methodical game.

Close Encounters • THE MASTERS IS A THRILLING MASH-UP OF THE WORLD'S BEST GOLFERS, GOLF'S GREATEST TOURNAMENT AND THE GAME'S MOST ADORING FANS. THE RESULT ON AND AROUND THE COURSE? SOMETHING INTENSELY INTIMATE AND, FOR THE PLAYERS AT LEAST, AS COMFORTABLE AS A HEART ATTACK.

JUST A LITTLE BIT LANGER • Thirty-five starts. Nine top 10s. Two green jackets. Four-plus decades. Bernhard Langer's epic run at the Masters has been awe-inspiring. Like the man himself.

THE NEW WAY TO WIN THE MASTERS • Amen Corner and the rest of the back nine at ANGC have a lot to say about who eventually dons the green jacket. Secretly, so does the starting five.
