After seven long months of waiting, fans will finally get to see Tiger Woods compete for his sixth Green Jacket at the 2020 Masters in Augusta, Georgia this weekend.

MORE: Why isn't the Masters on TV in the morning?

Normally played during the second weekend in April, this year's tournament was postponed to the second weekend in November due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So now, fans will get to watch Tiger while also juggling channels/streams to watch college football and NFL games.

Woods, currently ranked 33rd in the world, has a chance to make another run and tie Jack Nicklaus' record of six Masters wins. Woods' odds to win are currently placed at +2700, tied for ninth-best in the field of 92. He'll have plenty of stiff competition though.

Bryson DeChambeaux is the current favorite at +750, while John Rahm and Rory McIlroy are both placed at +1100. Dustin Johnson, the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world, is at +1200 along with the No. 3-ranked golfer, Justin Thomas. 

Here's everything you need to know to watch Tiger Woods and the rest of the field at the 2020 Masters.
