The first golf major of 2023 is now just over a week away with the biggest names in the sport flocking to Augusta for the Masters.

Scottie Scheffler will put his title on the line, although Rory McIlroy will be in the running for the coveted prize as he bids to end his nine-year major drought.

Excitement is building for golf fans across the world and stunning influencer Paige Spiranac is tapping into the frenzy by launching her very own Augusta collection.

Spiranac, who recently turned 30, called time on her professional career but has developed a huge social media following as she discusses the big talking points, provides shot tips and posts stunning photos on the course.

She has launched a series of products on her own website ahead of the tournament, including The Amen Towel, referencing the famously difficult section of the Augusta course that includes holes 11, 12 and 13.

The towel includes a cheeky picture of the braless American in the iconic green jacket that is given to the Masters winner, alongside a matching green skirt. The towel is priced at $39 (£31.70) while there are plenty of other pieces of merchandise available.

Golf fans can also purchase Amen t-shirts and sweatshirts, while a hat is up for grabs for the same price with an embroidered peach on the front.

Spiranac uses her social media platform to address the biggest issues in the sport and has pulled no punches when discussing the rebel players who left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf.

Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau have been among those to be criticised by the golf influencer in recent months, with the duo among the 16 LIV stars to be invited to play at Augusta.

Mickelson is one of six previous Masters winners to have defected to LIV Golf alongside the likes of Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia and Dustin Johnson. They will all be present at the pre-tournament Masters Champions Dinner, where Scheffler's 2022 triumph will be celebrated.

The occasion will mark, for many, the first time LIV and PGA Tour stars have been together since golf's civil war broke out and Spiranac has previously commented on just how awkward it is likely to be.

She has also confirmed she will celebrate the start of the tournament by throwing her very own party in Augusta on April 5, with live performances from American country singer Jimmie Allen.
