Now the 2020 winner Dustin Johnson, says that Tiger Woods' return may take the pressure off some of the players that would normal take top billing.

"Anytime he tees it up, especially after his injuries, he's going to take a lot of attention, which is okay with me," the former world number one said.

"I always like sliding in a little under the radar."

Disregard the time on his image, all the tee times have been pushed back by 30 minutes so I presume that was just an oversight.

The thunderstorms might have stopped the fun early on Wednesday, but it didn't stop 72-year-old Tom Watson - the Masters champion in 1977 and 1981 - enjoying the time he did get out on the course.

Our man Ken Brown knows the Augusta terrain better than most.

So it perhaps unsurprising he found this beauty of a spot among the azaleas to snap Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas during practice.

Trevor Immelman won his first Major title at the 2008 Masters, leading the field all the way from the opening round to the final Sunday.

Immelman became the second South African golfer, after Gary Player, to wear the Green Jacket after finishing three shots clear of Tiger Woods.

Here he describes how he played the 18th hole in the final round, and how one last surprise was waiting for him on the fairway.

Padraig Harrington hits a dream of a wedge shot into the third and then rolls in for birdie.

The Irishman isn't done there mind. A sumptuous iron into the long par-three fourth comes to a halt four feet from the pin.

Back-to-back birdies for the two-time Open champion.

A long explanation is needed here so I'll go for the easy option. See 13:42 BST post.

Gloomy skies and lots of umbrellas around the Augusta National at the minute.

But still there's almost nowhere else on earth you'd want to be if you love golf and it's looking good for later.

Great start for Garrick Higgo. The South African lobs a well-weighted approach towards the back of the first green and then slides in 14 footer for birdie.

Adam Scott won the 2013 Masters in dramatic fashion, beating Angel Cabrera in a play-off, with a birdie at the par-four 10th as darkness fell.

After a final-round 69, Scott was tied with Cabrera on nine under par.

Scott is the only Australian to have worn the famous Green Jacket and goes off at 16:26 BST - here he describes his six-iron shot at the 10th that paved the way for glory.

Hideki Matsuyama became the first Japanese man to win a major championship with his one-shot victory at last year's Masters but can he successfully defend his title?

The 30-year-old has already won twice this season but had to withdraw from the recent Valero Texas Open through injury because of a problem with his neck.

He also had a problem with his back at the Players Championship in March.

Does that make it sound as though the odds are stacked against a repeat of 2021? If so you may as well read on just to throw the 100s and thousands on top...

No player has won the Masters in consecutive years since Tiger Woods in 2001-02 and prior to that only Sir Nick Faldo (1989-90) and the great Jack Nicklaus (1965-66) have achieved that feat.

A few shots of Danny Willett limbering up on the practice green. The 2016 champion tees off in an hour.

Introducing the BBC grouping at Augusta...

There are five groups out on the course at present.

Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington is among the players under way as is former Masters champ Jose Maria Olazabal, who has dropped a shot on the second after a birdie start.

However, Canada's Mike Weir, who won here in 2003, has had the start nobody would envy. A double on the first, which included a horrible missed putt from two feet.

Augusta is full of much-loved traditions.

One of the most revered took place yesterday, when players were joined by their partners and children in the annual par-three contest.

Unfortunately, the fun was stopped when the threat of an incoming thunderstorm forced play to be called off for the day.

But there was still time for some highlights.

Rory McIlroy, who had daughter Poppy for company for the first time, chipped in for birdie on the first hole moments before players and spectators were told to leave the grounds.

American Jason Kokrak made the only hole-in-one of the day on the fourth.

Former European Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn speaks on behalf of us all...

Larry Mize remains the only golfer born in Augusta, Georgia, to win the Masters - and he did it in some style in 1987.

Mize finished on three under par after 72 holes, and was in a play-off with Greg Norman and Seve Ballesteros, who were both major champions.

After Ballesteros was eliminated at the first play-off hole, Mize produced one of the most iconic shots ever seen at the Masters, chipping in at the 11th hole to claim the Green Jacket. Here he describes his memories of the day when the local boy became the national hero.

Right who fancies a little bit of Masters nostalgia...?

The Golden Bear, famous for his insatiable appetite (for winning), certainly enjoyed himself at the Champions Dinner.

As well as enjoying the Japanese grub, he revealed a lovely little anecdote involving Hideki Matsuyama and Gary Player...

Where else in the world can you get a grouping of golf's greatest ever players having a chinwag over a sumptuous meal?

Tuesday night in Masters week is Champions Dinner night.

Each year sees the defending champion carefully curate the menu, with Hideki Matsuyama providing a traditional Japanese meal after becoming the first player from the nation to win a major men's golf title last year.

The promise of miso black cod had Dustin Johnson almost salivating during his news conference on Tuesday, while Jordan Spieth joked he had offended his steak-loving fellow Texans by claiming Wagyu beef was the best in the world.

A veteran of how many Masters?
