~Hot~ shots of the 2016 Masters

Every April, golf enthusiasts flock to Augusta National to watch one of the most renowned golf tournaments in the world — The Masters.

What keeps disinterested viewers invested in following the tournament? The attractive lineup of golfers. 

To do this the ~fairway,~ here is a compilation of this year’s most attractive participants in the 2016 Masters, in no particular order.

Jordan Spieth

The reigning Masters champion, but has proven inconsistent this season. Looks good on the green, and in a green jacket.

Adam Scott

Won the Masters in 2013, and the hearts of girls across the country. However, he has had a rough start in this years tournament. He hit a shank right into the patrons yesterday.

Bryson DeChambeau

An amateur due to go pro next week, and a rising star in the golf world. He is one of only five people to win both the NCAA championship and the U.S. Amateur. Hopefully we will be seeing more of Bryson in the future.

Rory McIlroy

Just when we thought Rory was back on the market he gets engaged again. His newest fiancée is Erica Stoll, the current Manger of Championship Volunteer Operations at the PGA of America.

The pro-golfer from Spain that has been falling short of victory for the past couple of seasons.

A Raleigh native that has resided in Charlotte since turning pro, and is known for winning the U.S. Open in 2012.

Billy Horschel

Billy is frankly underrated as an attractive pro golfer, but that also may be due to his seemingly average record in the golf world.

Rickie Fowler

Rickie is known for wearing snapbacks and his Puma sponsorship, but also for his spunk on the course.

Honorable Mentions:

Keegan Bradley

Keegan’s eyes are mesmerizing when he hits a long drive, but has had a rough 2016 season.

Bubba Watson

As a two time Masters champion, Bubba’s quirkiness and charm has captured the hearts of many. Not to mention he drives a hovercraft instead of a golf cart around the course.

Ian Poulter

Ian’s bold style landed him an honorable mention, which makes him look like he could potentially be a fifth member of the Backstreet Boys. I could definitely see Ian rocking some frosted tips.

As the final round of the Masters commences, hopefully we will see someone from this list dawning a green jacket, and if not — there is always next year.
