Augusta bound one more time.
Hazel is looking forward to heading to Augusta and The Masters this weekend where she will present her last golf event with BBC Sport.
Today she announced that after 25 years presenting golf, she has decided to step aside from this particular role.
Hazel said; “In 2016 I was pleased to be offered another contract to continue presenting snooker, golf and Major Events in 2017 and beyond.
However, after much thought, I have decided that in what is my 30th year in broadcast sport, I want to re-align my on-air commitments around the changing needs of my family.
So, I agreed to continue with my anchor roles on snooker and Major Events. I also decided that after 25 years of golf presentation with BBC Sport, I would now like to pass this baton on to someone else.
I have loved working with my brilliant friends and colleagues on the BBC golf team. But for the time being, this decision will work better for my family and me.
So, I’m looking forward to being in Augusta to see Danny Willett defend his title and to savouring the unique atmosphere of the Masters one more time.”

BBC Scotland has commissioned IMG to produce a one-hour documentary, marking the 50th anniversary of Celtic's European Cup success.
Hazel is working as an Executive Producer on the project alongside Alex Gale. The documentary is directed by John MacLaverty.
"Glasgow 67; The Lisbon Lions" tells the story of how Scottish champions, Celtic, became the first British team to lift the top European crown.
The film takes several members of that famous team - including Bertie Auld, Jim Craig, Bobby Lennox, Willie Wallace and John Clarke - back to the Glasgow streets where they lived in 1967. Remarkably, all except one player lived within a ten-mile radius of Celtic Park.
The documentary will be broadcast in May.
October 2017; BAFTA Scotland success for "Glasgow '67"! The film won Best Single Documentary at the BAFTA Scotland awards ceremony held in the Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow. We were thrilled and very honoured that Lisbon Lions Bertie Auld and Jim Craig could join us on stage as our brilliant Director John MacLaverty accepted the award.
Several months later, Glasgow '67 did the double, scooping the RTS Scotland award for Best Documentary too.
