Full Masters preview
The 86th Masters Tournament is just around the corner. That’s why we’ve devoted 26 pages of this edition to the first men’s major of the year. Read exclusive interviews with: Robert MacIntyre, as he prepares for his return to Augusta; Larry Mize, on the 35th anniversary of his shock win; and Hannah Darling, as she and Louise Duncan get ready to become the first Scots to play in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
There’s also a detailed history of the tournament and, on the 50th anniversary of the first Masters to take place without Bobby Jones, we speak to the Augusta National co-founder’s grandson. No joke. We tracked him down. Don’t miss it.
Inside Angel Cabrera’s prison
One man who won’t be at Augusta this year is 2009 Masters champion Angel Cabrera. He’s currently in jail in Argentina after being convicted of offences against his former girlfriend. It’s not a cushy stretch he’s doing, either. The 52-year-old is being held in what locals and former inmates have dubbed ‘The Prison From Hell’. Michael McEwan has all the details.

16 pages of New Gear
You can’t have failed to notice that it’s new gear SZN. We’ve got 16 pages giving you the rundown on all of the latest product releases courtesy of gear expert David Cunninghame. DC has hit absolutely everything you’ll read about in this issue. The TaylorMade Stealth and Callaway Rogue ST drivers, the PING i525 irons, the Wilson Triad ball, the Titleist Vokey SM9 wedges… everything. Get his honest assessments of each and every one and, whilst you’re at it, read his new column where he pores over Brooks Koepka’s new equipment contract.
Ross Fisher exclusive

Our brand new look
New year, new us. You’ll hopefully notice that we’ve undergone a bit of a facelift, including our first new logo in almost 20 years. It was time. One thing hasn’t changed, though. We know times are tight (and potentially going to get a whole lot tighter as the year goes on) so we’ve kept our cover price the same as it was last year.
