The tournament begins on April 6th and runs until April 9th at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
The likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose will all be in action at golf's flagship event - which will also be the first time PGA and LIV golfers go head-to-head since last year's Open.
Several big names have played down suggestions of tensions between golfers from both sides, with Bubba Watson and Patrick Reed stating that the media are the ones driving such an agenda.

The favourites
Scottie Scheffler - The 26-year-old American and current world number one is looking to become the first player since Tiger Woods in 2002 to win back-to-back Masters titles, joining an elite group featuring Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo.
Jon Rahm - World number three Rahm remains a favourite amongst the bookies, coming off the back of a victory in the Genesis Invitational that briefly put him at the top of the player rankings.
Rory McIlroy - The Northern Irish star is hitting form at just the right time in a quest to finally secure a green jacket, having finished in the top five at Augusta National in each of the past three years.
Cameron Smith - The highest-ranked LIV Golf player at the event, the Aussie will be looking to upset his PGA critics with a resounding win to add to last year's Open Championship victory.
Jordan Spieth - The 2015 winner has top-three finishes in five of his past nine starts at Augusta and usually brings his A-game to the Masters, and no doubt the 29-year-old will be keen to right the wrongs of his first-ever missed cut at the event in 2022.
Things to look out for
Tiger Woods, a 15-time major champion and four-time Masters winner, returned to competitive golf at last year's event 14 months after a career-threatening car crash. He finished in 47th place.
Woods has played a limited schedule since then, withdrawing ahead of his final round at the PGA Championship last May and then missing the cut in The Open at St Andrews. His only appearance so far in 2023 came at the Genesis Invitational, where he finished 27th.
At 47 years old, Woods is no longer the dominant golfer he once was. However, he is still a force to be reckoned with, and he can never be ruled out to make a run at the Masters title in 2023.
The par-3 course underwent a major renovation in 2023, featuring changes designed to make the course more challenging and provide more viewing options for patrons.
The most significant change was the rerouting of the first five holes. The holes were moved to the north side of the course, which opened up more space for patrons. The new holes provide more difficulty, with longer tee boxes and more water hazards.
New bunkers provide greater challenges, while reshaped greens make it more difficult for players to control shots. The new tee boxes on holes 6-9 will also make the holes longer and more difficult.
The newly stretched 13th hole will also provide plenty of talking points. One of the sport's most exciting and famous holes, the 13th - the closer in the iconic three-hole stretch known as 'Amen Corner' - will play at 545 yards, up from its previous 510, after the tee box was moved back because the hole had become among the course's easiest as technology boosted drive distances.
The lengthening will make it more difficult for players to reach the green in two shots, forcing them to lay up short of the green and make a long putt for a birdie. The hole will also be more difficult for players who are trying to make par. If they miss the green, they will have a difficult chip shot up to the green and then a long putt for par.
While organisers are keen to maintain the challenge of the course, some players have criticised the move claiming it could take the spice out of an otherwise dramatic stretch on the course.
