Just won The Masters? Congratulations, take some time off.
That's the usual course of business for golfers when they win their green jacket. There's a lot of reasons for this, but the main one is that The Masters (for all it's pomp and cirumstance) comes very early in the PGA tour season.

After The Masters there's a long dull period of unimportant tournaments. But once the summer hits, it's an seemingly never-ending slog through The Players, US Open, British Open, PGA, Bridgestone and others. After exerting the emotional and physical energy necessary to win at Augusta, most green jacket winners rest up to face that marathon stretch head-on.
Not Jordan Spieth, however. In fact Spieth was out on the links just four days after his Masters win, finishing 11th at last weekend's RBC Heritage Classic. He was the first Masters winner in eight years to play the tournament immediately following a win at Augusta.
“It never even crossed my mind, after winning a major championship, you better believe that you’re playing as good or better than anybody in the world. So why would that stop?" said Spieth, describing his thought process to ASAP Sports. "I’m not going to sit there and stop practicing or stop working and party or anything. I know I have to get out and get back to work, because we’ve got two big events and then the U.S. Open in a place that I’m familiar with.
"So I’m excited. I’m excited for the opportunity this year. There’s still a lot of goals to achieve this year.”
