Clemson, SC—Former Clemson All-American Lucas Glover will compete in his 11th Masters at the Augusta National Golf Club this week.  Glover will begin the tournament Thursday at 12:22 p.m. off the first tee.  

Glover’s playing partners over the first two rounds will be Sergio Garcia and Daniel Berger.  The group’s Friday tee time will be 9:14 a.m. off the first tee.   It is a grouping with a Clemson flavor as Berger’s father, Jay Berger, was an All-American tennis player for the Tigers in the early 1980s.

Glover, 45, is having one of his best years on Tour.   He is ranked 15th in the latest FedEx rankings and is 30th in the latest Official World Rankings.   His career best World Ranking is #15 in 2009.

 In nine events so far this year he has made six cuts with three top 10 finishes.   He finished third at the AT&T Pebble Beach and third at The Players Championship, in addition to an eighth place at the Valspar Championship in Tampa, Fla.  in his most recent tournament.

The native of Greenville, SC and a graduate of Wade Hampton High School is third on the PGA Tour in driving accuracy this year at 71.6 percent, and is fourth in proximity to the hole at 33 feet.  Glover has received much attention for moving to a long putter in late 2023,  and his results have been strong.  So far this year he is 10th on the PGA Tour in fewest putts per hole (1.703) and second in putting percentage from eight feet or less at 75 percent.   

Glover is also third on the PGA Tour in par three scoring average (2,91) second in total hole outs from off the green with 14.  He has already earned over $3 this year, 13th on the PGA Tour.
