An exceptional course. A legendary competition. An ever-renewed tradition. Every April, the Augusta National Golf Club invites the finest players in a truly unique setting for a world-class showdown. Winning here means becoming part of golf history – forever.
It is one of the most sought-after prizes in the world of golf: the Green Jacket is surrounded by ritual and reverence. By tradition, the winner of the previous year's tournament helps slip the jacket on to the new champion in front of a crowd held spellbound at the 18th hole. Any player who wins the Masters earns a lifetime exemption to return to play in the opening major of the year.
It’s hard to put into words how special this is. The golf course was so challenging, and to be sitting here wearing this jacket again is extremely special.
It is the ultimate course. A place where even the world’s best are put to the test. A landscaped masterpiece, home to 350 different plant species. Here, several greenkeepers tend to every detail, from the iconic Magnolia Lane to the 44 formidable bunkers and the pivotal Amen Corner, with its three notoriously challenging holes. Framed by forsythias and azaleas, this course is a golfer’s paradise – yet for players, it can just as easily transform into a veritable ordeal.
The Masters is unlike any other tournament. Here, caddies are dressed in white. A discerning audience gathers to follow the action. Customs and practices befit the grandeur of the setting. The whispers of the green meet the roar of the crowd, echoing the legends of the game. At the Masters, golf’s enduring traditions are constantly renewed – and respect for it remains the golden rule.
Tiger Woods
It was one of the most remarkable comebacks in sports history. In 2019, after 11 years away from the top, Tiger Woods triumphed once again at the Augusta National Golf Club. His fifth Masters title was a powerful display of the champion’s extraordinary resilience. Only Testimonee Jack Nicklaus has done better, with six Green Jackets to his name over the course of a legendary career.
When I tapped the putt in, I don't know what I did, apart from I know screamed.
