The US Masters golf tournament is sure to dominate sporting headlines this weekend with Australian fans hoping for good things from world number one Jason Day and the 2013 Champion Adam Scott.
Add in the final round of the A-League, the Australian swimming titles in Adelaide -- as well as one the most famous one-day cycling classics in the world and there's plenty on offer for sports fans.
The US Masters has grown in stature to such an extent in the past 20 or 30 years that, despite the history of the British Open, Augusta is arguably the tournament that most players would put at the top of their list.
Australia's Jason Day finished joint second in his first Masters back in 2011, but admitted he was contemplating an early retirement from the game at the time.
Now he goes into this weekend's event full of confidence and wearing the number one ranked player mantle.
But despite that, and having won his past two tournaments, the Queenslander believes it's too hard to pick a winner around the courses famously fast greens.
"There's so many players that can win around here, and there's not just one heavy favourite this week, which is fantastic. I think it's good for the game of golf and I think it's good for this tournament, as well.
I'm excited about the week. I'm excited about getting ready and preparing and getting the week underway."
The tournament's second round gets underway in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
In A-League football, the final round of the regular season sees no less than four teams in with a shout of winning the Premier's Plate.
Two of those sides meet in a blockbuster tonight when second-placed Adelaide travels to play Melbourne City.
A draw could be enough for Adelaide to take the title, while City has to win and hope Brisbane Roar and Western Sydney Wanderers drop points.
With Brisbane on the road at the Melbourne Victory and the Wanderers flying to Wellington to play the Phonenix, City will be desperate to make sure they get the three points against Adelaide.
For City captain Patrick Kisnorbo, winning the Plate is not the be all and end all.
"The Grand Final ... We look at that as being the big prize. Even though winning the Premier's Plate is such a big thing -- if you could win both, (that's) fantastic. If you could win one of them, great because you've won a bit of silverware."
That match between Melbourne City and Adelaide is on SBS Two from 7.30 in the East.
The big event in cycling this weekend is without doubt the Paris Roubix one-day classic.
Made famous because it includes the bone jarring cobblestones of northern France on the way to Roubaix, this year's race won't be made any easier because of inclement weather.
Michael Tomalaris is part of the SBS commentary team, which includes former Roubaix riders Robbie McKewen and Henk Vogels, an d he takes a look ahead.
"Yes, the weather is likely to play a huge role in the outcome of this year's Paris-Roubaix. It's been 14 years since this one-day classic has been held on muddy cobbled roads under grey and probably wet skies. And that being the case it's become a very open contest. Peter Sagan will start as favourite after his magnificent victory at last week's Tour of Flanders, while Fabian Cancellara will be extra motivated after finishing runner up in what is his final year on the world tour. It's going to be a great race."
SBS's coverage of the race which also known as "the Hell of the North" begins at 8.30 pm on Sunday in the East.
The Australian Swimming championships continue over the weekend with Grant Hackett looking to become the oldest Australian swimmer to qualify for what would be his 4th Olympics at the age of 35. h
The star of the men's event could well be Cameron McEvoy as he siwms in the 50, 100 and 200 metres freestyle.
And according to McEvoy, he's well prepared.
"My preparation in the past season leading into these trials has been, no doubt, the best I've ever had. I've raced more competitions than what I would do normally in a season and each one of those competitions have been really good and I've done quite a few best times."
In the women's competition, Emily Seebohm will look to continue her rise to prominence.
She dug deep to become the first woman to claim the 100-200metre backstroke double at a world titles in 42 years, in Russia last year.
In the NRL this weekend the match of the round is arguably the Eels clash with the Canberra Raiders on Saturday afternoon.
Both sides have made decent starts this season, but the Eels are enveloped in an ongoing salary cap investigation.
In the AFL, the Western Bulldogs will look to continue their unbeaten start to the campaign when they take on the reigning Premiers Hawthorn on Sunday afternoon.
