This week on the eve of the 2024 Masters Peter dials in from the Press centre at Augusta National and we are also joined by special guest Gary Murphy, a former European Tour pro and Augusta State University student to discuss all things Masters. Is this to be Rory McIlroy's year? Does Shane Lowry have all the tools to be Ireland's first Green Jacket winner? Is the weather going to wreak havoc on day one? Could we see a debutant top the leaderboard for the first time since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Is Jon Rahm the most under-the-radar defending champion in years? And who do we have our money on as the 'tradition unlike any other' gets underway?
