2022 Masters Tournament Overview
Of course, “A Tradition Unlike Any Other” takes decades to build. It does not happen overnight and can’t be contrived. At the onset in 1934, the Masters’ Tournament became an instant hit. But it took years for it to become a classic. Although to be fair, The Masters’ Tournament was a relatively quick tradition.
Specifically, the Masters draws more online betting activity than any other golf tournament. No other tourney, not even the majors, can touch the Masters’ Tournament for interest, TV ratings, and betting handle.
At the beginning is the Augusta National Golf Club. The late great Bobby Jones was the original designer of the Augusta Course. From the start, the Augusta National Golf Course stood apart from any other for its majestic beauty.
Next, the Masters’ Tournament is unique from any other event on the PGA Tour. The Masters is an invitational event, meaning that the field for this event is smaller.
Of course, the coveted Green Jacket presented to the winner is iconic. Any PGA competitor will tell you he would take the Green Jacket over any amount of money. Also, a pro golfer would trade all of his careers wins for just one Masters Tournament championship. The event is truly that special.
The Greatest Champions in Masters Tournament History
In 2019 Tiger Woods added to Masters Tournament tradition and lore with a rally unlike any other. Woods won his fifth Masters Tournament championship and his first in 14 years. Woods ranks second to Jack Nicklaus for all-time Masters championships. First place goes to the Golden Bear with six titles. Accordingly, fans will never forget when Nicklaus beat the Golf Betting Lines for his final Green Jacket in 1986. In like manner to Woods, the Golden Bear rallied with a Sunday that still has fans discussing it today.
Concurrently, Woods is the last repeat champion in 2001-02. These days the Masters has an era of parity unlike any other.
