Scottie Scheffler, the reigning Masters champion, participated with his wife Meredith and their infant son Bennett, whose birth was announced last May.

Tiger Woods helping to rebuild Augusta golf course
Tiger Woods helping to rebuild Augusta golf course Happy Masters week! ⛳ It's already been a wild one as fans were told to evacuate due to inclement weather conditions, and Augusta National Golf Club was forced to suspend Monday's practice round. Follow Golfweek on X for updates. While there wasn't much happening on the course, there was big news off the course as Tiger Woods announced he's joining forces with the membership at ANGC on a special product. See the story below. All eyes in the golf world are squarely on Augusta National now. Here are a few things to know: Hey, neighbor! Augusta National is now visible For decades, the view from Augusta National toward its neighboring club was heavily impeded — and vice versa. It's now less so following Hurricane Helene. Which course is nearby and what are players saying? What's this about tomato pie? The Savory Tomato Pie took the social media world by storm following a Masters X (formerly Twitter) post on April 1, so much so that some thought it may be an April Fools' Day prank. That was not the case. It's not your typical tomato sandwich. Think tomato sandwich meets Hot Pocket. The pie comes in a rectangle-shaped container designed to retain heat.

Savory Tomato Pie at 2025 Masters: So what's the verdict on its taste?
Savory Tomato Pie at 2025 Masters: So what's the verdict on its taste? The Masters Tournament's newest menu item has gained a lot of publicity over the past week. While so many are focused on gnomes, there's another buzz at Augusta National Golf Club going on — at the concession stand. The Savory Tomato Pie took the social media world by storm following a Masters X (formerly Twitter) post on April 1, so much so that some thought it may be an April Fools' Day prank. That was not the case. The empanada-style treat was available to patrons visiting for Saturday's Augusta National Women's Amateur final round and Sunday's Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals. It should continue to be a popular menu item throughout Masters week. For starters, it's not your typical tomato sandwich. Think tomato sandwich meets Hot Pocket. The pie comes in a rectangle-shaped container designed to retain heat. Augusta native Preston Pye, 34, tried one for the first time after he and his wife, Meg, visited the Patron Shop early Sunday afternoon. At first glance, he said it resembled an apple pie from a prominent restaurant chain. Pye described it as almost like a personal pizza roll, noting the container makes it easy to eat on the go while walking around the course. The immediate reaction after Pye bit into the pie? It was HOT. As for the most important answer on everyone's mind, Pye said he would buy it again. On an interesting note, he also floated the idea of combining the pie with a Pimento Cheese sandwich. He didn't try it on Sunday, but just know it's a possibility if you're feeling experimental later this week. It's another option on the menu, joining the classics like the Pimento Cheese, Egg Salad, Masters Club, Classic Chicken and BBQ sandwiches. Will it stick around? Time will tell, but the early feedback looks positive. The Savory Tomato Pie can be purchased at concession stands for $3 apiece.
