April brings a huge amount of excitement to Augusta National Golf Club. The 88th Masters is all ready to begin from April 11th to April 14th, and nothing is stopping LIV golfer Bubba Watson from making his 16th Masters appearance with other LIV golfers. How is he making an appearance? You may wonder? Well, he doesn’t need any invitation, as his two victories in 2012 and 2014 set him up for life.
He finished T21 at the LIV Golf Mayakoba event, and in Las Vegas, he ended up at T15. Surprisingly, Watson is among 17 other players who have won the Masters more than once. With his incredible achievements, surely his expectations will be high to get the cup back in his bag for the third time!

Watson may swing his spectacular 52-degree wedge to get the title for himself. He beat Louis Oosthuizen in 2012 on the second playoff hole on No. 10 to win the first green jacket of his life. Later in 2014, he won by three strokes and defeated tournament rookies Jonas Blixt and Jordan Spieth.
