A tradition unlike any other began Thursday, as the golf world once again descended upon the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia for the 80th playing of the Masters.

This year's Masters is particularly intriguing, as a new power trio in golf—Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day—has emerged. Spieth is the defending champion, McIlroy is a green jacket away from completing a career Grand Slam, and Day is the hottest player in the world dating back to last summer.

Day is 20th in driving distance, third in strokes gained putting, 12th in overall strokes gained and 10th in birdie average. In 324 holes played this season, Day has three-putted just six times, and has yet to miss a putt all season from inside four feet.

But there are so many talented players—and players who have had success at Augusta—nipping at his heels, none more dangerous than Spieth.
