Tyrrell Hatton Eyes Redemption at Augusta With Fire and Focus
You know, when it comes to Augusta National, Tyrrell Hatton is the first to admit—this place has given him a real headache over the years. The Masters has always been a tough nut for him to crack. But here he is again, turning up in 2025 with one goal in mind: winning. And you can feel it in the way he talks—he might be bruised by past experiences, but he’s far from beaten.
Last year, he had a memorable Saturday round alongside Tiger Woods. Walking the Augusta fairways with a legend? That’s the kind of thing you tell your grandkids about. But even with that buzz, Hatton’s round ended on a sour note—four-putting the 18th and turning what could’ve been a tidy 70 into a frustrating 73. Tiger chuckled, and Hatton took it on the chin, but it was a classic Augusta moment: promising, then punishing.

Still, he bounced back. A final-round 69 earned him a share of ninth—his best ever finish at The Masters, and a little spark of hope that maybe, just maybe, he can figure this course out.
He doesn’t sugarcoat it though. Augusta and Hatton? It’s not exactly love at first sight. He’s openly despised certain holes, famously flipping off the first green and mimicking a gunshot at the 13th with his putter. This place gets under his skin. But here’s the twist—he keeps coming back. Why? Because the Masters is still magic. That invitation still makes the kid in him giddy. And no matter how much the course fights back, Hatton’s not just there for a stroll. He’s there to win.
Now with his move to LIV Golf, things are a bit more complicated. Fewer chances to pick up world ranking points, limited visibility compared to the PGA Tour guys. Yet, Hatton’s still ranked 18th in the world. That’s no fluke. His wins at the Alfred Dunhill Links and Dubai Desert Classic prove his form is still dangerous, even if his LIV results this year haven’t set the world alight.
And then there’s the Ryder Cup—another big driver. Hatton’s played in the last three. He doesn’t want to miss a fourth. But with LIV events offering no points, he knows Augusta and the other majors are now do-or-die if he wants to earn his spot automatically. Captain Luke Donald has six picks, but Hatton’s not banking on history or loyalty. He knows current form talks.
So yeah, Tyrrell Hatton might have a love-hate relationship with Augusta. But this year, he’s got more to prove than ever. He’s fired up, focused, and even if the course hasn’t always treated him kindly, don’t count him out. Because one thing’s for sure—Hatton never shows up just to make up the numbers.
