The Masters is arguably the biggest week in the golf calendar and represents the start of the golf season. It’s a special, special tournament, held at arguably the most special course on the planet, Augusta National.
It’s an event that even non-golf fans will tune in to, and now, just weeks after the competition, The Masters has released a promo video that has peaked our excitement levels, with social media reacting to the stunning piece of footage.
Beginning with the caddy dressed in the traditional white overalls, we hear Jim Nantz say “welcome friends to this tradition unlike any other”. From there, we see footage of friends getting together for a Masters-style party, with pimento cheese sandwiches and other iconic Masters food and drinks, as well as lots of golf balls and Augusta National logo clothing.
Along with the party are photos of Rory McIlroy’s holed bunker shot on the 18th from last year, as well as Arnold Palmer, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods receiving their Green Jackets.
An interesting moment comes with the voiceover guy, who isn’t Nantz by the way, saying “everyone brings their best”, where a mention is “the crowd”. Why is that interesting, you might ask? Well, those in attendance at Augusta National are usually not fans or crowds, but patrons, something introduced by Clifford Roberts, co-founder of Augusta National.
The video has already created a huge response on social media, with many individuals loving the content, especially as it caters to the younger generation. One of the pros to leave a comment was 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman, who retweeted the video with the caption: “Goosebumps…can’t wait!”
We loved the video and can’t wait for the action to begin! From the Champions Dinner on Tuesday evening to the traditional Par 3 competition on Wednesday, there will be plenty of action ahead of the main event which starts on Thursday 6 April.
