Rory, Bryson, Scheffler top Masters storylines heading to Augusta
Rory McIlroy chases the Grand Slam, Scottie Scheffler eyes a third green jacket, and Bryson DeChambeau seeks his first at the 2025 Masters.
After weather threatened to prevent fans from attending Monday's practice round at Augusta National, gates were opened and Masters week began as normal. That doesn't mean the rest of the week will go off without a hitch though. Mother nature is a fickle mistress, offering rainy conditions at the drop of a hat, and there isn't anything worse than trying to play golf in the rain.
With play beginning on Thursday, April 10, and the Par 3 Contest beginning a day earlier, the 2025 Masters could face struggles with rain possibly delaying play on Friday for Round 2. Here's the full breakdown of the forecast for the tournament, based on data from the Weather Channel and AccuWeather.
Golf News: Who won 2024 Masters? Scottie Scheffler looks to add third green jacket in 2025
Forecast for the 2025 Masters:
Wednesday, April 9:
The Masters Par 3 Tournament is due for a very nice day, with temperatures below 50 degrees to begin the day, but warming up nicely to 66 by the afternoon. Very few clouds are expected and winds shouldn't be more than nine miles per hour with gusts of up to 16 mph.
Thursday, April 10:
Although rains were expected throughout the Masters a few weeks ago, fortunes have changed and now, a sunny, mostly clear weekend seems to be in the cards.
Thursday will bring a very similar forecast to Wednesday, with temperatures starting near or even under 50 before warming up to the high-60s, low-70s around the afternoon. Winds aren't expected to be much of a factor either with speeds ranging between 6 and 8 mph with gusts anywhere between 14 and 18 mph.
Friday, April 11:
Friday was the most likely day for rain earlier in the week. On Sunday, there was a 50% chance of rain as early as 9 a.m. However, it seems the chances have dropped off significantly, with AccuWeather reporting only a 20-40% chance of rain now.
That is still the highest chance for rain throughout the weekend, but temperatures will be higher as well. They should never dip below 50, and should remain in the low-to-mid-60s throughout the day.
Saturday, April 12:
Saturday will be an interesting day weather-wise. Temperatures are expected to be below 55, but humidity will be at its highest for the weekend. By 4 p.m. local time, though, temperatures will rise to about 67 with humidity falling to 35%, hopefully bringing a more normal feel to golfers and fans alike. Along with partly cloudy skies, winds shouldn't be much of an issue with gusts only reaching about 14 mph while holding at a calm 7-9 mph breeze.
Sunday, April 13:
The final day of the Masters might be the most beautiful with sunny skies and very few clouds expected. While temperatures will feel frigid, sub-50 before 10 a.m., it should warm up slightly by the afternoon, reaching a high of 69 around 4 p.m.
Winds will also be their lightest of the weekend, sitting at 6-7 mph for most of the day with gusts topping out around 13 mph.
When was the last time rain delayed the Masters?
Although rain is no longer expected for the Masters, there is still a chance we see delays on Friday for Round 2. This wouldn't be the first time rain affected the beloved tournament. Just last year, the start of the tournament was delayed 2.5 hours due to inclement weather, pushing the beginning tee times from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
In fact, rain has played a factor almost every year for the Masters since 2019, which is to be expected in early April in Georgia. Thankfully, the tournament has never been canceled due to weather.

Dentist Matt Vogt living out impossible US Open dream at hometown Oakmont
OAKMONT, Pa. — If you happen to need some dental work done at The Dentists of Gateway Crossing in McCordsville, Indiana this week and you're told to come back next week, you'll understand why. Your dentist, 34-year-old Matt Vogt, is busy this week living out an improbable dream back where he grew up, in western Pennsylvania. Advertisement Vogt has turned in his white dentist coat for golf clothes this week as he competes in the U.S. Open at Oakmont, where he happened to caddie for five years while growing up in nearby Cranberry, Pa., and attended Seneca Valley High School. Vogt is one of the 156 players, a field that includes world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, recent career Grand Slam winner Rory McIlroy, defending champion Bryson DeChambeau and the rest of the best players in the world, because he survived local and sectional qualifying to get in.

Patience and discipline needed for US Open at difficult Oakmont
World number one Scottie Scheffler of the United States walks to the 18th green at Oakmont during a practice round ahead of the 125th US Open (ANDY LYONS) Oakmont's fiendish layout provided a rain-softened preview Monday of what the world's top golfers will face when the 125th US Open starts Thursday. Thick rough was damp and dense for the first official practice round while greens and fairways were far more receptive than they are expected to be when the major billed as the toughest test in golf gets under way. Advertisement "It requires patience and discipline," fifth-ranked Justin Thomas said. "If you just get lazy, like on any drive, any wedge shot, any chip, any putt, you can kind of look stupid pretty fast, especially at a place like this. "It's a great week to be in a great place mentally and very patient and picking our spots out there." Third-ranked Xander Schauffele, last year's British Open and PGA Championship winner, says golf fans enjoy seeing mighty players humbled. "I don't think people turn the TV on to watch some of the guys just hit like a 200-yard shot on the green," Schauffele said. "I think they turn on the US Open to see a guy shooting eight-over and suffer. That's part of the enjoyment." Advertisement Oakmont offers risk-reward challenges seeking to tempt players into mistakes. "It's challenging myself to try and hit every fairway, every green, to try and be disciplined like through and through," Schauffele said. "There's going to be a point where you lay up into a bad spot, and it goes to laying up again from that layup spot. If you have a decent lie, you might try to take some risk, and that's part of the fun." Schauffele sees it as a perfect set-up for world number one Scottie Scheffler, who has won three times since the start of May, including his third major crown at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Advertisement "Take Scottie Scheffler," Schauffele said. "He's in the middle of every fairway. It takes a serious amount of discipline to play away from pins and hit really good shots to safe targets and that's what it takes to play well at US Opens." World number two Rory McIlroy, who won the Masters in April to complete a career Grand Slam, might be one who can risk using driver often. "You drive it like he does, I would pull that driver out as often as I can," Thomas said. "He hits it further and straighter than maybe anybody that has played the game." Thomas, a former world number one, says he would like to challenge for the top again, if Scheffler would only stumble. Advertisement "Guys are playing unbelievable, like Xander did last year, like Rory is this year, but it's just that Scottie is also doing that. You can't really catch that if he keeps doing what he's doing," Thomas said. "He doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down." - 'Licking your chops' - Oakmont isn't done with forcing difficult choices upon players once they punch out of the rough. "The way Oakmont plays is you can sort of hack something, if you're courageous enough, and if you get the correct line and a couple of bounces, you could turn what would be a nightmare into a decent situation," Schauffele said. Advertisement "It just puts an emphasis on hitting the fairway and hitting greens. If you're a premier ball striker, you'll be licking your chops. If you're in the rough, it's very lie dependent." Thomas said practice can only tell a player so much. "It's very helpful, but if I'm not hitting it where I want and controlling the ball like I want, it doesn't really matter if I've hit shots around the green or not," said Thomas. "I'm going to struggle if I'm not hitting it well." js/rcw
