Monday, April 10 (if needed)
Based on The Masters weather report, we just may need to finish the tournament on Monday for the first time in over 40 years. Luckily, if this is the case, the weather looks just fine. Models have the weather back to to the upper 70s, with just a 30% chance of rain.
The Masters forecast is not ideal for any players or fans in the field, especially not former champion,
Jordan Spieth, who admitted that he likes the way Augusta National plays much better when the greens are moving quickly.
“Hopefully we get a firmer, faster Augusta; like it that way,” said Spieth, per
CBS Sports. “I’ve played better when it is that way. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be that way. But, you know, if it forces a lot more kind of wedges into the par 5s and some angles because of the cooler temperatures and the moisture in the ground, I can certainly look at that as advantageous to me, too. I’ll just spin it positively however I can.”
Based on the latest 2023 Masters Tournament weather report & forecast, Augusta National will get wet at various points this weekend, and players are likely going to need to adjust their strategies accordingly. As always, the weather predictions are constantly changing, and we will continue to track for any further updates throughout the weekend.
