Golf fans can settle in and enjoy a week-long celebration of The Masters, when Fox Sports presents a special pop-up channel commencing Monday, April 6 on Foxtel and Foxtel Now.
For more than three decades, Jim Nantz has called the biggest events in sports for CBS. But he’s already calling Tiger Woods’ 2019 Masters win “the best event I’ve ever covered.”
We compared the clubs Tiger Woods hit into Augusta National’s greens in 1997 in his first Masters win, when the course measured 6,925 yards, versus what he hit into greens on Sunday in winning his fifth green jacket, on a course of 7,475 yards:
Nicklaus, who had been fishing in the Bahamas, got to shore in time to see Tiger win his 15th Major, re-igniting his quest to equal or surpass Nicklaus’ 18 Majors.
As if the fame and fortune that come with winning the Masters isn’t enough, the champ gets to remind everyone else he won for the next 12 months by taking the green jacket off Augusta National Golf Club property. And you never know where you’ll see the coveted coat turn up.
Adam Scott was one of five Major winners perched atop the Masters leaderboard heading into Saturday’s third round, but he was likely the only one considering a putter change.
It looked as though the security guard may have hurt Woods’ knee, causing the entire golf world to collectively gasp and attempt to find out the security guard’s home address so they could hunt him down.
Jason Day said there are days when he wakes up feeling like he’s 50. Or 70. Or 18 (rarely I suppose). Sometimes, he said, it takes him 10 minutes just to get out of bed.
What’s the scariest thing at Augusta National? If you ask a player, they’d probably say the first two legs of Amen Corner. If you ask a fan, they’d likely go with the long lines to get merchandise. In both cases, they’d be wrong.
