With the first big golfing event out of the way for the year at The Players Championship, attention turns to Augusta National and The Masters.

McIlroy’s best finish at Augusta came in 2015, when he finished fourth, six shots behind Jordan Spieth.

When is the Masters?

The Masters is the first major of the year and will take place between April 11-14.

Where is it?

The Masters takes place at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA, every year.
