2013 Preview

Duration: 40 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Hazel Irvine and guests preview the 77th Masters, the first major championship of 2013.

World number one Rory McIlroy is a two-time major winner but is still dreaming of a maiden green jacket. His best Augusta outing to date came in 2011 when finished tied 15th. That was the same year he held a four-shot lead going into the final round, only for it to quickly evaporate.

Four-time Masters champion Tiger Woods has turned back the clock in the early part of 2013 with numerous PGA Tour wins. Now aged 37, Woods believes he is edging closer to his best form and has been tipped by many to win his first green jacket since 2005.

Last year's champion Bubba Watson was a popular victor, as he saw off South African Louis Oosthuizen in a play-off to become the eighth consecutive first-time major winner. Can he become the first man to defend the title since Woods in 2001 and 2002? Show less
