89th Masters Tournament kicks off in Augusta
Former PGA Tour golfer Jerry Pate, who finished top 5 in the Masters twice, joins ‘Fox & Friends First’ to discuss his predictions for the annual tournament as players are set to tee off in Augusta, Georgia.
Paulina Gretzky was all smiles on Wednesday as she hit the course to caddie for her husband, Dustin Johnson, as he participated in the Masters Par 3 Contest before the tournament began.
Gretzky was seen holding hands with Johnson on the course and walking along the fairways with their young son.

She has been by Johnson’s side through it all. When Johnson won the Masters in 2020, Gretzky was at Augusta National to support him. When Johnson ditched the PGA Tour for LIV Golf, Gretzky offered her full support as the golf star came under some scrutiny for her move.
Johnson has had success in LIV Golf since he joined the league. He has three wins on the tour.
It will be Johnson’s 15th Masters start, but he is not among the favorites to pick up his second green jacket. Johnson’s odds are as long as +8000 win the tournament.
