At the opening ceremonies of the 2025 Master’s Tournament, a familiar face hid behind a Sony camera: Ken Griffey Jr. The National Baseball Hall of Fame and 13-time All-Star legend took to the green during the first major golf tournament of the year as one of the official Masters.com photographers as the tournament opened on April 10 at Augusta National in Augusta, Georgia, USA.
While Ken Griffey Jr.’s camera is no stranger to professional sports photography, including MLB games where he once graced the fields rather than the press pit, the 2025 tournament marks the first time The Kid has photographed The Masters. The reason? Superstition. “I said I’m not going to go to The Masters until I play it,” he told Morning at the Masters. “And I got the opportunity to play a couple years ago, and then got the opportunity to shoot it, and it’s been unbelievable and wild.”
