Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, who both have minority stakes in the Yorkshire club, are getting customised Leeds shirts as they get ready for the Masters.

• Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth were presented with personalised Leeds shirts 
• Thomas and Spieth are both minority investors in the Elland Road club 

The Masters, which begin on Thursday, are expected to be highly anticipated.

With the ongoing rivalry between the PGA and LIV Golf, it should be an exciting competition.

Mike Keegan of Mail Sport brings you all the important talking points from Augusta.

Despite having only a little stake in Leeds United, American duo Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth are very interested in the happenings at the Yorkshire club. So much so that Matt Fitzpatrick’s caddy and fellow Whites devotee Billy Foster brought out personalized jerseys for the two.

While Spieth asked for the number “00,” Thomas chose to wear the number 34 in honor of his hero, former Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz. Foster also brought Leeds caps with American flags embroidered on the side. Following 49ers Enterprises’ acquisition of Elland Road, Thomas, Spieth, and Foster all likely had an eye on Tuesday’s match between promotion-chasing Leeds and Sunderland.

Patrons of Augusta receive eye protection before the complete eclipse

For Monday’s complete eclipse, Augusta officials were well-prepared, providing complimentary eye protection to guests as soon as they arrived at the course. In the near future, look for the Masters-branded glasses—a throwback to the 3D movies of the 1970s and 80s—to show up on Ebay.

Strong chance of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday 

When the tournament kicks off on Thursday some eyes may again be on the skies. Last year, amid strong winds, patrons were sent scurrying for cover on the Saturday when three giant pine trees came crashing to the ground near the 17th. Miraculously, while play was suspended, no serious injuries were reported. This year the forecast is much improved for Friday to Sunday – but for opening day there is an 80 per cent chance of showers and thunderstorms.

No Scots present at Masters for the first time since 1984 

For the first time since 1984 no Scots will be present in the field. Nobody from the sport’s birthplace managed to win any of the eligible tournaments or find themselves in the world’s top 50, following the 1988 champ Sandy Lyle’s final appearance last year. Europe Ryder Cup star Robert MacIntyre came the closest, but his 80th place was not enough.
