🏌️♂️☔️ #Masters weather is pretty clear-cut tomorrow, it’s gonna pour through the morning and I don’t think anyone tees off until around noon. Winds are fairly consistently breezy Thursday and Friday, so I don’t think there’s a real way to avoid them: https://t.co/25E45GR6vv
So… only the early guys gotta deal with the rain tomorrow… but looks like winds will be an issue both Thursday and Friday…. Do with that info as you will…. Sincerely yours, Willard Scott ⛳️☔️ 💨 #TheMasters https://t.co/7U8WAycT4n

Wet at #themasters until afternoon on Thursday leaving a very soggy course behind after 3-inches of rain. Winds will be cranking / gusting out of the South in the afternoon at 30-40 mph. Suboptimal playing conditions! ⛳️ https://t.co/qzuAXqA3X5
🏌️♂️☔️ #themasters weather update: rain looks to clear a bit earlier, so while Thursday morning is mostly a washout, I think we’ll get some golf in by noon’ish. Winds still 15-20mph sustained with gusts around 30mph all day. Will have a full PGA forecast update this afternoon.
