The first major of the year is finally here! And to celebrate, here’s a special Masters edition of Social Eyes.
Sergio Garcia only has three top tens at the Masters in his 17 appearances since 1999 – but he’s been doing some special preparation down at the supermarket to try and improve that ratio this week.
It's @TheMasters week and every place is good enough to get some practice done, even the grocery store! #firsttry pic.twitter.com/PNUHgT36qD

The Champions Dinner brings some of the greats of the game together, none more so than Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player, with the South African sharing this pic before they went in to enjoy Jordan Spieth’s Texas BBQ.

Most players struggle to contain their excitement for Masters week. Just ask Graeme McDowell.
And that wasn’t the only ‘driving down Magnolia Lane’ video he posted.
Ian Poulter took the selfie game one step further, posting pictures of himself out on the lush fairways of Augusta National.

Yes Jimmy, we get it. There’s something that extra bit special about Masters week.
Even more so for the debutants. Sandy Lyle showed fellow Scot Russell Knox the ropes.

But finally…
Here’s someone who won’t be at Augusta this week. After three runner-up finishes at The Masters, most notably the loss to Faldo in 1996, it’s no surprise that Greg Norman doesn’t want to be anywhere near the tournament. Still, Hawaii – not too bad a replacement I guess.
