AUGUSTA, Ga. \u2014 The Jacksonville Jaguars\u2019<\/a> No. 1 fan on the PGA Tour\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0wait for the 2026 season to open.<\/p>\n

Harris English<\/a> thinks it will be a continuation of the Jags\u2019 closing stretch of eight victories in a row to win the AFC\u00a0South and post a 13-4 record, a remarkable turnaround from one of the most devastating losses in team history when they blew a 19-point fourth-quarter lead<\/a> to the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just how they picked themselves off the mat,\u201d said English, a\u00a0five-time PGA Tour winner who went to high school in Chattanooga, Tenn., with Jacques McClendon, the\u00a0agent\u00a0for Jaguars coach Liam Coen<\/a>. \u201cThey could have gone two\u00a0different ways\u00a0from that bad\u00a0loss\u00a0and they turned it around, took it the other way and started winning a bunch of games, and were super-competitive. It was awesome to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

English attended the Jaguars<\/a>\u2019 Monday night victory over Kansas City<\/a> and then the playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills<\/a>.\u00a0He\u2019s\u00a0been at training camp practices\u00a0and\u00a0frequently\u00a0texts with Coen,\u00a0talking\u00a0football and golf.<\/p>\n

English admitted that the next two seasons might be difficult, with the team playing\u00a0to a limited capacity (around 43,000 seats) at EverBank Stadium and then in Orlando in 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the\u00a0direction\u00a0Liam,\u00a0[general manager James]\u00a0Gladstone,\u00a0[executive vice-president Tony]\u00a0Boselli, obviously the ownership with Shad Khan, they have the right seats on the bus for everybody,\u201d English said. \u201cI’m\u00a0super excited about where\u00a0they’re\u00a0doing. With\u00a0the stadium redo and playing in Orlando the next year\u00a0it’s\u00a0going to be a little\u00a0tough,\u00a0but they got a good\u00a0team\u00a0and\u00a0they’re\u00a0going to keep trudging along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cameron Smith hopes a break will help<\/h2>\n

Ponte Vedra Beach resident Cameron Smith’s<\/a> impressive run at Augusta National ended last year with his first-ever missed cut in\u00a0the Masters.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s\u00a0hoping a change of routine will help. The 2022 Players champion, who is a member of the LIV Golf League, Smith played in the Miami stop the week before the 2025\u00a0Masters\u00a0but LIV did not schedule an event\u00a0the week before the season\u2019s first major championship this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always nice to have a week or two off before a really big week,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cYou\u00a0kind of feel\u00a0fresh. No matter if the week before\u00a0was a big event or a small event,\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0still putting all your effort into it and trying to play well. It always takes something out of you.\u00a0So\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0nice to\u00a0come in\u00a0here fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith is making his ninth start in the Masters. He was the first player in tournament history to post four scores in the 60s<\/a> in 2020 when he tied for second behind Dustin Johnson, which kicked off a stretch of five tournaments in which he finished among the top 10 four times.<\/p>\n
