The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club draws numerous attendees including executives, agents, and golf fans, but pollen remains a significant issue. Players like Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler have experienced discomfort due to high pollen levels, which exacerbate sneezing and watering eyes. As the tournament progresses, weather conditions will influence the pollen counts, impacting the experience for both players and spectators. Augusta, renowned for its stunning greenery, poses challenges for those with allergies, making preparation essential for enjoying the event fully.
The pollen is just killing my eyes, Tiger Woods said years ago after he donned sunglasses at a Masters. I've been sneezing and hacking all week, so trying to keep it out of my eyes the best I can.
Pollen, it turns out, is an equalizer of players and patrons, as Augusta National refers to the spectators who gaze upon great golf.
I get out of my car in the morning, my eyes start watering, Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked player, said this week. It's a little bit worse than normal years.
Weather conditions will help dictate how high the pollen counts peak by the time the tournament is scheduled to conclude on Sunday evening.
