A clear difference exists between the Masters’ Tournament and any other golf event. “A tradition unlike any other” is the Masters’ marquee label. At the beginning is the stately Augusta National Golf Club. Augusta is the most iconic venue in all of golf. Opened in 1934 it immediately stood out for its picturesque beauty. In turn, the total purse for the Masters’ Tournament is $11.5 million. Yet that is not what golfers are playing for. Instead, golfers dream of being presented with the coveted green jacket at historic Butler Cabin. Par 72 is the number at Augusta.
Naturally, Tiger Woods electrified the country when he rallied to win the 2019 Masters. With the win, Woods now has a career total of five green jackets. Phil Mickelson has three Masters wins with Bubba Watson winning twice. Fashion that Woods will again be a sentimental favorite.
