In the world of golf there is no course quite like the iconic setting of Augusta National. Despite being pleasing on the eye, though, the famous Georgia setup poses a tough test for the world’s best golfers.
It no doubt requires a special type of player to master the art around Augusta with golfing royalty in Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer part of a select group of players to enjoy repeated success on the course. In the modern era of golf, it has been hard to nail down a dominant force around the Georgia setup, however one man who stakes a claim is 2015 champion Jordan Spieth.
Following his debut in 2014, Spieth has finished outside the top 20 of golf’s flagship event on just two occasions. He kicked things off with a remarkable tied-second finish on debut, before going one better the year later by securing the sacred green jacket after becoming the first wire-to-wire champion in 39 years.
