Excitement has well and truly kicked ahead of The Masters, and here’s a special Augusta-themed Social Eyes.
A few weeks back, we heard how Gary Player was taking the ceremonial tee shots very seriously.
And it turns out Jack Nicklaus has responded. Rory McIlroy has tweaked the 18-time major winner’s driver to show Player that it’s very much ‘game on’ – and the South African had this message for McIlroy:
Oh no @McIlroyRory and I thought you were on my side 😜😂😉

Sticking with Player, he uploaded this video of him walking down Magnolia Lane. The only thing missing… a press-up at the end.
Taking my traditional walk down Magnolia Lane @themasters still gives me goosebumps #memories #thebigthree pic.twitter.com/DE5qDW8mkJ

While he also shared this fitting picture with Nicklaus and the late Arnold Palmer.

In another fitting tribute to the King, at tomorrow’s ceremonial tee shots will receive a special ‘Arnie’s Army’ badge…

Jamie Donaldson isn’t playing at Augusta National this week, but played the 11th hole on a simulator live on Sky Sports, only to hit a massive shank.

Tyrrell Hatton, who is partnering Donaldson at the upcoming Zurich Classic of New Orleans, chimed in.

As did Ian Poulter.
It's alright mate @DonaldsonJamie I've had plenty of legit ones at Augusta... those didn't cost you any cash.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/0gGZ45CarO

And finally…
Ian Poulter is missing his first Masters since 2006 this week – but on April 1 he had people second guessing with this fantastic April Fool joke.
Better start packing a case.. just received a late invitation for @TheMasters. Better late than never. #Result #Buzzing #Major's
