The legacy of Masters is years old, but right now, nature is hinting in another direction. Certain external forces cannot be controlled despite efforts. Because when nature calls, we listen. The Masters Tournament is only a few days away, but this latest update regarding the biggest event has become sad news for all golf fans. DOES THE MASTERS TOURNAMENT LIE IN DANGER? The early weather reports for the tournament this week do not look well at all. And it will shatter fans’ hearts. The Weather Channel predicts showers for the Augusta region [https://www.golfdigest.com/story/masters-augusta-weather-2023?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=golfdigest] on Thursday, followed by a lot of rain on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. However, the weather number doesn’t show the likelihood of rain; rather, it shows how much of the region will experience rain. So, rather than there being a 61% possibility of rain on Saturday, meteorologists predict that there is a 100% chance that rain will fall in 61% of the Augusta region.

Furthermore, the club might construct a dome before the weekend for all we know. For those who are curious, there have been five occasions in the annals of the Masters when the competition ended on a Monday. It occurred most recently in 1983.

The famous Masters Kit is also waiting for the spectators to enjoy while watching their favorite golfers play. The former professional golfer Paige Spiranac already predicted that [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-liv-player-major-title-29-year-old-golf-beauty-paige-spiranac-makes-some-bold-sporting-predictions-for-2023/] Rory McIlroy [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rory-mcilroy/] would win Masters, and Gary Player is supporting. Whereas the fans of Tiger Woods [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/] are eyeing the green jacket on his behalf. A lot is on the line. We hope the weather does not hinder the biggest event. THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR THE TOURNAMENT On Thursday, it’s going to be a muggy one to start things in Augusta. A high of 86°F forecasted right now, but with a 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms throughout the day. Whereas on Friday, they are expecting winds and more rain to come in overnight, which could make things quite interesting. There are no thunderstorms in the forecast, with a high of only 67°F for the day, but there are showers predicted throughout the entire day with a 60% chance of rain called for throughout both the morning and evening.

Scottie Scheffler is a two-time major champion who plays on the PGA Tour. Born in New Jersey, and raised in Texas, Schefflerâ€™s early interest in golf started at age 3. Although his father introduced him to multiple sports, the 27-year-old stuck with golf. Earning his way through the Korn Ferry Tour, Scottie Scheffler rose to the World No. 1 spot quite early in his career. Here is everything you need to know about the Texas star who has maintained unparalleled dominance in recent years.
<h2><b>Early life of Scottie Scheffler</b></h2>
Scottie Scheffler was born in New Jersey in 1996. However, he spent a part of his early childhood days in New Jersey. However, when his mother got a job there, they moved to Dallas. The 27-year-old is a member of the Royal Oaks Country Club, where his father enlisted him on borrowed money.

At the age of six, he started working with his swing coach, Randy Smith. Smith is still the instructor Scheffler trusts. Young Scheffler, however, played many sports growing up, including basketball, lacrosse, baseball, and football. However, he chose golf as a career, and that has been his dream since early childhood. His dream, however, started courtesy of a plastic golf club he was presented with by his parents.
<h2><b>Schefflerâ€™s professional wins</b></h2>
Scheffler has ten wins so far on the Tour. His maiden victory came at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open, when he defeated Patrick Cantlay in a playoff. He topped that with three more, including the Masters that year. The current world no. 1 golfer has made 102 cuts in the 121 tournaments he has played on the Tour.

Scheffler, though, made his PGA Tour debut as a 17-year-old kid at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, then known as the AT&amp;T Byron Nelson. In his tour debut, Scheffler made a hole-in-one at the 221-yard second hole at the Four Seasons Resort. He settled for a T22 at the event.

A highly decorated college career raised the expectations of the Dallas native. Scheffler, however, exceeded those expectations, showcasing dominance reminiscent of Tiger Woods. In April 2024, Scottie Scheffler became the first golfer since Tiger Woods to win four tournaments in five starts.

Scheffler also shattered multiple records on the PGA Tour in 2024. Scheffler played 39 consecutive rounds at par or better. In 2023, Scheffler became the seventh-lowest average scorer in PGA Tour history. His adjusted score of 68.63 was bettered by only Tiger Woods in six years. Woods holds the record of 67.79; this year, Schefflerâ€™s scoring average is 67.50.

Scottie Scheffler married his high school sweetheart, Meredith Scudder, in 2020. Scudder has accompanied his husband on many occasions. Most famously in 2022, when Scheffler earned his first green jacket and the maiden major tournament. They're expecting their firstborn in May 2024.

The 10-time PGA Tour winner famously said that he would leave Augusta National if his wife went into labor. Two years earlier, Scheffler revealed Meredith calmed him down as he was â€˜crying like a babyâ€™ before the final round of the Masters.
<h2><b>Religion plays a big role in Schefflerâ€™s life</b></h2>
Scottie Scheffler is a devout Christian. â€œ<i>The reason why I play golf is Iâ€™m trying to glorify God and all that Heâ€™s done in my life,</i>â€ the PGA Tour Pro said last year from Augusta. The 10-time PGA Tour winner is part of a Bible study group. And, thatâ€™s where he met his caddie, Ted Scott. â€œ<i>I really want to work with a Christian. Thatâ€™s how I try to live my life,</i>â€ Scheffler told Scott while asking the veteran to loop for him.

At this yearâ€™s Masters, Scheffler reiterated his faith in God. â€œ<i>My buddies told me this morning my victory was secure on the cross. And thatâ€™s a pretty special feeling to know that Iâ€™m secure for forever, and it doesnâ€™t matter if I win this tournament or lose this tournament. My identity is secure forever.</i>â€
<h2><b>Scheffler is active in various charity organizations</b></h2>
Schefflerâ€™s friend James Ragan and his brother, Mecklin, started a philanthropic foundation, Triumph Over Kids Cancer. James, however, died of bone cancer just months before the Highland Park sophomore made his PGA Tour debut. A few years later, the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year donated a portion of the $300,000 he pocketed as the winner of the RSM Birdies Fore Love.

He also donated $50,000 to the Northern Texas PGA (NTPGA) Foundation for developmental programs for junior golfers. In 2020, Scheffler also donated $20,000 to West Dallas Community School, $20,000 to Advocates for Community Transformation, $20,000 to Human Impact, and $20,000 to Behind Every Door Ministries. The couple, too, is part of a charity organization, The Scudder Association Foundation.

For Scheffler, Christianity is a guiding principle in his life. Golf is secondary; itâ€™s his job. But family and faith matter more for the pro who canâ€™t stop winning.

Scottie Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler is a two-time major champion who plays on the PGA Tour. Born in New Jersey, and raised in Texas, Schefflerâ€™s early interest in golf started at age 3. Although his father introduced him to multiple sports, the 27-year-old stuck with golf. Earning his way through the Korn Ferry Tour, Scottie Scheffler rose to the World No. 1 spot quite early in his career. Here is everything you need to know about the Texas star who has maintained unparalleled dominance in recent years. Early life of Scottie Scheffler Scottie Scheffler was born in New Jersey in 1996.

Smith is still the instructor Scheffler trusts. Young Scheffler, however, played many sports growing up, including basketball, lacrosse, baseball, and football. However, he chose golf as a career, and that has been his dream since early childhood. His dream, however, started courtesy of a plastic golf club he was presented with by his parents. Schefflerâ€™s professional wins Scheffler has ten wins so far on the Tour. His maiden victory came at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open, when he defeated Patrick Cantlay in a playoff.

<h2><b>Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements.

Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pga-tour-tiger-woods-parts-ways-with-nike-fractured-deal-becomes-a-reality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which came to an end after a 27-year partnership</a> that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023.

Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-where-does-tiger-woods-live-inside-his-54-million-mega-mansion-with-two-private-docks-tiger-woods-house-jupiter-florida-mansion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property</a>.

Woods also bought both his parents' houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl's names.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life</b></h2>
Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies.

From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy.

By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

Tigerâ€™s father, Earl, was his inspiration to play the sport and was also the one who taught him how to play the game. His first official coach, on the other hand, was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years.

In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University for two years and pursued a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996, taking his first steps toward becoming the golf legend that he's now known as.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Family and His Kids</b></h2>
Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although he was born an American citizen, Woods's heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. The couple were married for 37 years until Earl sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006.

[caption id="attachment_936305" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-936305" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1021662-1.jpg" alt="Tiger Woods with his father and mother" width="1920" height="1372" /> 25 Jan 1998: Tiger Woods with his parents Kultida and Earl Woods at the Johnnie Walker Classic at Blue Canyon Golf Club, Thailand.

Woods is the only child of Earl and Kultida. But his father had three other children before he was born. Earl Jr. was Woodsâ€™ eldest half-sibling and was born in 1955. He is 20 years older than Tiger. Woods has another elder half-brother, Kevin Dale Woods, who is 18 years older than he is and was born in 1957. His third half-sibling is his half-sister, Royce Renee Woods, who was born in 1961.

Woods himself has two children, both with his now ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. His firstborn is their daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, who was born on June 18, 2007. Charlie Axel Woods, her brother and Woods and Elinâ€™s second child, was born on February 8, 2009.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Dating History</b></h2>
In 2001, Woods first met his then-wife-to-be, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-what-does-tiger-woods-ex-wife-elin-nordegren-do-for-a-living/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elin Nordegren, a former model</a>. The couple dated for a while before getting engaged in November 2003. Less than a year later, in October 2004, the couple tied the knot and were married in Barbados in an intricate ceremony. A little over five years later, they <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-tiger-woods-ex-wife-elin-nordegren-where-is-she-now-and-what-caused-the-downfall-of-their-relationship-update-tiger-woods-ex-wife-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went through a very public and scandalous divorce.</a>

Woods met Rachael Uchitel in 2008. A year later, the two began seeing each other. Allegedly, Uchitel and Woods were seeing each other before his split with his wife, Elin.

Following his messy marriage, Woods started afresh with the American Alpine Olympic skier,Â <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lindsey-vonn/">Lindsey Vonn</a>. The two made an attractive athlete-power couple. They met in 2012 and began dating soon after. In May 2015, the pair split up due to their hectic athletic lifestyles.

Woods also dated Erica Herman, the former general manager of his restaurant, the Woods Jupiter. The two first made their relationship public in 2017 when she wore a playerâ€™s spouse credential at the Presidentâ€™s Cup. The pair broke up in 2023. Following their breakup, Herman also filed a lawsuit against Woods to revoke the non-disclosure agreement she signed when the couple initially started dating. Herman cited the Speak Out Act in her lawsuit, which permits the nullification of NDAs in cases of sexual assault or harassment. However, she later dropped the lawsuit.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Awards and Achievements</b></h2>
Woods has one of the most incredible careers in golfâ€™s history. Having turned pro in August 1996, he straight away began playing on the PGA Tour. Two months into his professional debut, he won his first Tour event, the Las Vegas Invitational, in October. Since then, the golf pro has gone on to win 82 times, the most any player has ever won. He shares this record with Sam Snead.

Less than a year after turning pro, Tiger Woods won his first major championship at Augusta in April 1997 at the Masters. He has gone on to win a total of 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, who has won 18 throughout his career, a record Woods is certainly gunning for. Woods won his 15th major at the Masters in 2019.

Woods is quite certainly one of the most accomplished golfers of all time. In terms of numbers, the golf pro has to date gotten his hands on 5 Masters titles, 3 US Open titles, 4 PGA Championship titles, and 3 Open Championships.

The PGA Tour star also holds the record for the most amount of time spent as World No. 1 at 683 weeks (just over 13 years). Through strong resolve, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-tiger-woods-crazy-fitness-routine-that-made-him-a-golf-legend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tons of training, and rigorous hard work</a>,Â the golf pro had earned the legend tag for himself.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods Documentary</b></h2>
All the avid Woods fans eager to find out more about the golfer will be pleased to know that the golf legend has a documentary. Tiger, an HBO sports-biography documentary, aired in 2021. It focuses on his steady rise and abrupt drop, and then his comeback to the sport.

The documentary also explores Woodsâ€™ relationship with his father and the effect his divorce had on his career. Fans can watch the biography, which is split into two episodes, on HBO Max.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Car Accidents</b></h2>
Woods has suffered a dark fate when it comes to accidents. He has been involved in three separate car accidents, each life-threatening. The first came in 2009, when the golf pro lost control of his SUV and crashed it into a fire hydrant, soon after pulling out of the driveway of his Florida mansion. He was knocked out and lost consciousness for nearly 6 minutes. His injuries from the accident had been described as <em>â€œserious.â€</em>

Eight years later, in 2017, the golf legend was arrested in Florida for DUI. The police had found him passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz. There seemed to have been a minor accident before the cops found him.

In February 2021, Woods was yet again involved in a car accident. Due to a speed crash, his car had flown off the road. He was the only party involved in the accident. The golf pro suffered multiple injuries to his right leg and ankle and sustained injuries to his back. He went through multiple surgeries for his leg injuries and has not yet fully recovered from them. Yet the PGA Tour star found the resolve to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-augusta-national-drops-huge-hint-at-tiger-woods-participation-at-2022-masters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compete in major championships in 2022.</a>

Woods's health struggles continued as he <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-the-masters-tournament-agony-at-augusta-tiger-woods-breaks-millions-of-hearts-with-gut-wrenching-announcement-at-the-masters/?utm_source=website%2F&amp;utm_medium=dive_deeper&amp;utm_campaign=internal_links" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withdrew from the Masters in April 2023</a> due to a re-aggravation of his plantar fasciitis. After nearly an eight-month-long hiatus, the 82-time PGA Tour winner made a comeback at the Hero World Challenge in December 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>The Tiger Woods Foundation, Charity Work, and Philanthropy</strong></h2>
Tiger and his father, Earl, started the TGR Foundation back in 1996. It was first set out with the goal of helping children play the sport. But 27 years later, the foundation now aims to educate children on all fronts. They offer college and career programs to students and have, to date, helped turn around more than 2 million studentsâ€™ lives. They further have one of the highest graduation rates among scholarship programs in the country, at 98%.

The Woods Foundation additionally hosts charity events and sponsors golf events on the PGA Tour to raise money for various charitable ventures. The most popular tournaments among them are the Genesis Invitational and the Hero World Challenge.

As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl&#8217;s names. Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies. From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy. By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

His first official coach, on the other hand, was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years. In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University for two years and pursued a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996, taking his first steps toward becoming the golf legend that he&#8217;s now known as. Tiger Woodsâ€™s Family and His Kids Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although he was born an American citizen, Woods&#8217;s heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. The couple were married for 37 years until Earl sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006. 25 Jan 1998: Tiger Woods with his parents Kultida and Earl Woods at the Johnnie Walker Classic at Blue Canyon Golf Club, Thailand.

Messerschmidt/Getty Images) Woods met Rachael Uchitel in 2008. A year later, the two began seeing each other. Allegedly, Uchitel and Woods were seeing each other before his split with his wife, Elin. Following his messy marriage, Woods started afresh with the American Alpine Olympic skier,Â Lindsey Vonn. The two made an attractive athlete-power couple. They met in 2012 and began dating soon after. In May 2015, the pair split up due to their hectic athletic lifestyles. Woods also dated Erica Herman, the former general manager of his restaurant, the Woods Jupiter. The two first made their relationship public in 2017 when she wore a playerâ€™s spouse credential at the Presidentâ€™s Cup. The pair broke up in 2023. Following their breakup, Herman also filed a lawsuit against Woods to revoke the non-disclosure agreement she signed when the couple initially started dating. Herman cited the Speak Out Act in her lawsuit, which permits the nullification of NDAs in cases of sexual assault or harassment. However, she later dropped the lawsuit.

Tiger Woods Documentary All the avid Woods fans eager to find out more about the golfer will be pleased to know that the golf legend has a documentary.

Tiger Woods&#8217;s Car Accidents Woods has suffered a dark fate when it comes to accidents. He has been involved in three separate car accidents, each life-threatening. The first came in 2009, when the golf pro lost control of his SUV and crashed it into a fire hydrant, soon after pulling out of the driveway of his Florida mansion. He was knocked out and lost consciousness for nearly 6 minutes. His injuries from the accident had been described as â€œserious.â€ Eight years later, in 2017, the golf legend was arrested in Florida for DUI. The police had found him passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz. There seemed to have been a minor accident before the cops found him. In February 2021, Woods was yet again involved in a car accident. Due to a speed crash, his car had flown off the road. He was the only party involved in the accident. The golf pro suffered multiple injuries to his right leg and ankle and sustained injuries to his back. He went through multiple surgeries for his leg injuries and has not yet fully recovered from them. Yet the PGA Tour star found the resolve to compete in major championships in 2022. Woods&#8217;s health struggles continued as he withdrew from the Masters in April 2023 due to a re-aggravation of his plantar fasciitis. After nearly an eight-month-long hiatus, the 82-time PGA Tour winner made a comeback at the Hero World Challenge in December 2023. The Tiger Woods Foundation, Charity Work, and Philanthropy Tiger and his father, Earl, started the TGR Foundation back in 1996. It was first set out with the goal of helping children play the sport. But 27 years later, the foundation now aims to educate children on all fronts. They offer college and career programs to students and have, to date, helped turn around more than 2 million studentsâ€™ lives. They further have one of the highest graduation rates among scholarship programs in the country, at 98%. The Woods Foundation additionally hosts charity events and sponsors golf events on the PGA Tour to raise money for various charitable ventures. The most popular tournaments among them are the Genesis Invitational and the Hero World Challenge.
