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.
Two years ago, at the Masters Champions Dinner, Tiger Woods whispered to three-time winner Nick Faldo that he was “done.” The injuries, the surgeries and the poor life decisions that played out on an extremely public stage had all taken their toll. Woods was finished.
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.
