The Masters gets under way on Thursday, exclusively live on Sky Sports, but could thunderstorms and strong winds impact the opening round at Augusta National?

The Masters is scheduled to get under way on Thursday, exclusively live on Sky Sports, but could thunderstorms and strong winds impact the opening round at Augusta National? Adverse weather delay has forced at least one suspension in play in each of the past five editions of The Masters, while rain has been experienced in over half of the 88 previous editions of the event.

The weekend forecast is about as perfect as the tournament could hope for, with warm and sunny conditions and winds significantly less than the previous two days, meaning the event will be able to get back on track if there are any delays earlier in the week. 'Windy conditions persist Friday under mostly sunny skies as a dry and stable airmass settles into the area,' the weather update said.
