ALL eyes are on Augusta as golf stars and their Wags take on the historic course for The Masters.
The biggest event of the golf calendar sees 96 players vie for the Green Jacket and their name in the historybooks.
A prize pot worth $20million (£17m) is on offer with defending champion Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy amongst the favourites.
Millions will tune in to cheer on their heroes, including their nearest and dearest – wives and girlfriends.
From the stunning daughter of a US ice hockey legend to a swimsuit model, SunSport presents The Masters stars’ partners.
Paulina Gretzky
Two lovebirds that are still going strong are Dustin Johnson, 40, and American beauty Paulina Gretzky, 36.
They began dating in 2012, although amusingly Paulina’s famous dad ice hockey legend dad Wayne Gretzky came along.
“I don’t know if you can call it a date since my dad tagged along,” she joked.
Despite Wayne being a third wheel, they embarked on a whirlwind romance and were engaged within a year.
The Gretzky family are considered to have helped Johnson find his best form in winning two majors.
Johnson and Paulina didn’t marry until 2022, when they finally said their ‘I do’s’ at a stunning ceremony at the luxurious Blackberry Farm in Tennessee.
The pair have two sons together, Tatum, 10, and River, 7.
Erica Stoll
McIlroy moved on from Carolina Wozniacki with Erica Stoll, who he married in 2017 in a ceremony in Northern Ireland.
Erica, 37, was working for the PGA when Rory met her as the manager of the Championship Volunteer Operations for the PGA of America in 2011.
She has always had an interest in sports, leading her to understand the pressures of his job.
They actually first set eyes on each other in 2012 when Rory nearly ruined the Ryder Cup Miracle at Medinah by oversleeping.
Erica was the PGA employee who came to his rescue before police rushed him to the course that September morning.
The couple separated last year and McIlroy, 35, was spotted without his ring before reportedly filing for divorce.
Incredibly the couple performed a U-turn just a month later, with the divorce voluntarily dismissed, and they are happily raising their their daughter Poppy, 4, together.
Meredith Scheffler
Meredith and Scheffler, 28, tied the knot in a Winter Wonderland-themed wedding in 2020.
They met at High School but didn’t date until senior year.
The couple continued dating long-distance during their university years, before Scheffler popped the big question during a hike at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Texas.
The couple officially tied the knot on December 4, 2020, at Arlington Hall in Dallas, after dating for six years.
The pair welcomed their first child in May 2024 – a baby boy named Bennett.
Meredith, 28, is the co-founder, vice president, and event planner for With Purpose College Station — a company that supports the lives of those affected by childhood cancer.
Alongside that, the American is also an ambassador of the nutrition organisation Juice Plus.
She worked as lead event planner at Eatology in 2017.
Olivia Peet
Ludvig Aberg, 25, caused a stir at Augusta last year when he pushed Scheffler for the title and ended up finishing second.
This year girlfriend Olivia will be cheering him on once again, having first been seen in public with Aberg at the 2023 Ryder Cup.
The 25-year-old, from Manchester, has already got into her Masters groove as she posed in a caddy uniform and Masters green cap alongside her fella.
Olivia’s father, Chris Peet, was a professional tennis player and passed his love for the sport on to his daughter, who became one of the 10 nationally ranked players in England.
She studied at Texas Tech University and has since worked as an associate director of the athletics annual fund at the university.
The couple made things official in September 2023.
Katherine Morikawa
The golfing power couple started dating in April 2017 and have been inseparable ever since.
Katherine Zhu comes from a sporty background – her father, Mike Chu, was a tennis player and her mother was a track athlete.
Before turning her attention to golf, she played tennis and won her first amateur tennis tournament at 13.
Katherine, 29, was a golfer and featured at university level.
She is also a social media influencer and entrepreneur, and in November 2023 ran her first half marathon.
Collin Morikawa, 28, met her playing golf at college, and the couple tied the knot at a lavish ceremony with their dog Koa in November 2022.
Nikki Guidish
Gorgeous Nikki, 33, is married to Patrick Cantlay, 33.
A former model, she is now a practising doctor of pharmacy – having given up on glam photoshoots.
Incredibly, Nikki also competed in the world of bodybuilding.
When she was younger, she appeared on US TV’s the Home Shopping Network modelling footwear.
Jena Sims
Beautiful American actress Jena Sims married Koepka, 34, in 2022.
Jena competed in the Miss Teen USA beauty pageant in 2007, but failed to place, and has since become an actress and a model.
The 36-year-old has starred in Attack of the 50 foot Cheerleader, a comedyhorror movie filmed in 2012.
She also appeared in Three-headed Shark Attack, in which a mutated great white kills former WWE champion Rob Van Dam.
Her other roles include Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, and TV shows, Entourage, Dexter and One Tree Hill.
On her Instagram account, she calls herself a self-confessed ‘Krispy Kreme connoisseur’.
The model recently launched a collab with swimwear company Lain Snow, showing off a range of products on her Instagram.
Kelley Cahill
2023 Masters winner Jon Rahm, 30, is married to his stunning college sweetheart, Kelley.
The pair met at Arizona State University, where they lived together for two years there before they finally became a couple.
And they were once almost torn apart by a fiercely competitive tennis match they played against each other.
Keeley, 31, said: “He’s killing forehands … crosscourt zingers, and I’m thinking, ‘This can’t be right’.
“He was so good. I was so upset. I was actually mad for a day or two. We have not stepped foot on a tennis court since.”
Rahm married Cahill in the Spanish city of Bilbao at the end of 2019.
Katherine Gaal
Matt Fitzpatrick, 30, settled down when he wed Katherine in October 2023.
A former Miss Jersey runner-up from 2014, the couple made things official with a social media post – then Fitzpatrick later shared a heartfelt message to Katherine on Valentine’s Day.
They have attended several golf tournaments together, including the RBC Heritage, which Fitzpatrick won in 2023.
Earlier that month, Fitzpatrick played alongside Katherine at Augusta for the Par 3 contest at The Masters.
