Sit back, relax and let Sportsmail take you on a four-day stroll down Magnolia Lane and through Augusta National.

The waiting is over, the Masters is here and we'll make sure you don't miss a thing between now and Sunday night.

The 76th renewal of golf's most prestigious tournament is one of the most eagerly-anticipated in recent memory with a host of the world's best players at the very top of their game.

Tiger Woods is the bookies' favourite after clinching a first win since 2009 at Bay Hill while Rory McIlroy, who collapsed so spectacularly in the final round 12 months ago, is just behind the four-time champion in the betting.

Suits you sir: Phil Mickelson presents Charl Schwartzel with the green jacket after the South African's victory last year

World No 1 Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Justin Rose and Graeme McDowell will all fancy their chances of taking the green jacket back across the pond while Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan and Keegan Bradley join Woods at the head of the American charge.

South African Charl Schwartzel is the defending champion and the South African will fancy his chances.

Stick with Sportsmail for all four days of the tournament and we'll bring you the latest news, live scores and all the best pictures.
