The Masters : Tee Times
The Champions dinner hosted by defending champion Jon Rahm is over, there is one more day of practice and the pairings have been announced.
As you scroll through the 89 names, you will notice some you haven't seen in a long time because they chose to play for the Saudi money, in obscurity on the LIV series, including their biggest recent signing Jon Rahm $350,000,000.
The whole issue of where LIV fits into the professional game seems to have stalled, especially with the investment in the PGA TOUR from a group of wealthy US business men led by Fenway Sports Group of $1.5 billion
Signage indicates that play has been suspended due to inclement weather during a practice round prior to the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on April 05, 2022 in Augusta, Georgia.

It will be a wet, windy start forecast for this years Masters on Thursday, scattered TStorms rumbling through with 93% precipitation, from 4am - 10am diminishing to 24% by lunch time with the wind all day from SE switching to SW at around 26kph with higher gusts, all at 25*c
The rest of the week is mainly sunny, dry, 28*c average although the wind from the W on Friday will be a factor especially in the afternoon up to 29kph
