The Masters Tournament is more than just a golf competition; it’s a stage where history is written in strokes of brilliance. This event has provided golf fans with memories that continue to stir emotions years after. Let’s relive the excitement through these ten moments!
Tiger’s Chip-in on the 16th (2005)

The 2005 Masters saw Tiger Woods create magic on the 16th hole. His chip from behind the green seemed impossible, yet it slowly rolled towards the hole, paused dramatically on the lip, and then dropped in. This was followed by Tiger’s famous fist pump, a defining moment in the golfer’s career.
Bubba’s Hook Shot From The Trees (2012)

On a thrilling Masters Sunday, Bubba Watson made golf history. In a playoff on the 10th, he hooked his drive into the trees. Instead of playing it safe, Bubba hit a 52-degree wedge shot that curved 90 degrees, landing near the pin. This display of creativity earned Watson a green jacket.
Jack’s Back Nine Charge (1986)

At 46, he shot a final round 65 to become the oldest champion. Down by 6 with 10 holes left, Nicklaus beat a lineup of golf’s biggest names. Jack won his 20th major and sixth green jacket, 11 years after his last. The player certainly stunned everyone at the 1986 Masters.
Phil’s Leap Of Joy (2004)

Phil was behind in ’04 but made three birdies in a row. A key par save set up his last-hole chance. With help from Chris DiMarco’s lead, Phil had a 20-foot putt to win his first green jacket. Commentator Nick Faldo described it as “the greatest shot of his life.”
Spieth’s Bogey Meltdown (2016)

With a five-shot lead on the back nine of a Sunday, Spieth’s tee shot on the 12th hole landed in the water. What followed was a quadruple bogey that saw his lead evaporate. Hence, you may say that Jordan Spieth’s 2016 Masters collapse was as stunning as it was heartbreaking.
Faldo’s Comeback (1996)

Nick Faldo’s 1996 victory came at Greg Norman’s expense. Norman held a six-shot lead entering the final round, but Faldo’s steady play led to an eleven-shot swing. The game ended when Norman hit his ball into the water on the 16th hole.
Sergio’s Playoff Victory (2017)

Garcia’s 2017 win was a study of his continuous work. His playoff victory over Justin was emotional, sealed with a birdie on the first extra hole. After nearly two decades of close calls in majors, Sergio Garcia finally prevailed at Augusta.
Adam Scott Breaks Australia’s Drought (2013)

No Australian had ever won the Masters, which weighed heavily on the sports-mad nation. Therefore, Adam Scott’s 2013 victory was historic for Australian golf. Scott’s playoff win, which ended with a clutch putt in near darkness, broke that drought.
Couples’ Ball Hangs On At 12 (1992)

Fred Couples’ lucky break on the 12th hole in 1992 served as a reminder that sometimes, being lucky is as important as being good. His tee shot looked destined for Rae’s Creek but somehow stopped on the bank. It was a stroke of fortune that helped Couples secure his only major championship.
Woods Completes His Comeback (2019)

Against all odds, Tiger Woods again made golf history in 2019. His struggles, coupled with injuries, had made it seem like Woods would never win another major championship. Yet, his narrow one-shot victory and emotional embrace with his son, made a memorable moment for fans.
