April is one of the best months for sports with some of the biggest events of the year taking place. The NCAA Final Four and Championship game will take place in the first part of the month after the grueling March Madness tournament to get the teams there.
This month is also home to golf’s greatest tournament, The Masters. This will be the 84th edition of the event from August, Georgia. Last year’s Masters was won by Tiger Woods in a highly emotional event.
