Could it be two green jackets in as many years for Jon Rahm?
The Spaniard will be looking to defend his Masters Tournament title this week in the 2024 edition of the golf major.
Rahm posted a 12-under at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, last year, beating out Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka by four shots. It marked Rahm's first Masters triumph and second major victory.
The 29-year-old Rahm enters this year's Masters as the world's third-ranked golfer, and he's considered one of the favorites to put on the green jacket come Sunday.
