Wayne Gretzky and family will likely be following world-number-one Dustin Johnson around the hills of Augusta National Golf Club this week.
"It will surely be there and it has been", Spieth told a news conference on Tuesday.
The trio is shaping up to make the 2017 Masters an electric competition, and it will be fascinating to see how the likes of Matsuyama, Fowler and Day fare alongside them. When you think golf, you think Augusta and The Masters. Before he is measured for a Green Jacket, however, it would be wise to remember he would not be the first favorite to be spat out by the unforgiving Augusta National layout.
"It will surely be there and it has been", Spieth admitted about the haunting memory of 12th hole. Sometimes it only takes one practice round but this place is very, very different.
Steele played a practice round with Phil Mickelson and a member of Augusta National, Jimmy Gunne. I'm still going to prepare like I always do and go out and try to play the best I can.
The sting is still there. "That would be insane".
Another former Masters champion, Justin Spieth, got a chance to reflect on a tough 12th hole at last years tournament.
Day looked in fine fettle with a series of sizzling drives playing the back nine and said he felt "happy to be here" after battling his own will to play following his mother Dening's cancer diagnosis.
Spieth is scheduled to tee off Thursday at 10:34 a.m. EST, as announced Tuesday. Then, from the drop zone, he chunked another one into the water. "Hate to say Clemson won the football". "It's one of many tournaments I've lost given a certain performance on a hole or a stretch of holes".

Secondly, once you offer those wages, players who want to join the club will ask for similarly inflated wages. So China, for me, is not a debate".
While everyone walks on eggshells not wanting to focus on what happened past year, Spieth just needs to go back playing his game.
"Ultimately I think I still would have played, but if it had come back another way my thinking would have been elsewhere", Day said. "Obviously, it's not the tournament".
While Spieth's short game and putting are usually second to none, McIlroy has been working to raise those facets of the game to a level close to his ball-striking.
"I know roughly where the pins will be as they don't change them too much from year-to-year".
Even the hole where it all fell apart has provided plenty of good vibes.
The 23-year-old has not finished lower than second at Augusta in three previous visits, and led for a remarkable seven successive rounds across 2015 and 2016 before unexpectedly throwing away his commanding position last year.
"But I'm excited about the opportunity ahead, which is now I can go back and really tear this golf course up". "I don't know how many guys are in the field, but they are the best golfers in the world, so you've got to bring your best stuff if you want to win".
Spieth's enthusiasm got more pronounced when asked specifically what makes this course so appealing to him.
Thomas said his length off the tee has been a work in progress and admitted that well into his high school career in Kentucky, his game off the tee was nothing special.
