| | | The best of Golf Digest on the Masters
Sign up for Golf Digest+ to get exclusive emails like this from Golf Digest editors. | Tuesday's weather in Augusta, Ga., is godawful. Play has been suspended, and large hail and a tornado could be coming. In other words, a fine day for curling up with some of Golf Digest's best writing on the Masters. As a reminder, access to our full archive dating back to 1950 is available only with a subscription to Golf Digest+. Our editors continually unearth treasures for our readers, and as we await Tiger’s “game-time decision,” it feels like an appropriate occasion to revisit an excerpt from Tom Callahan’s revealing book on Earl Woods, “His Father’s Son.” Or if you marvel at this tournament’s independence from commercialism while almost every other major world sporting event dangles as if from corporate puppet strings, you’ll better understand why by reading Frank Hannigan’s profile of the club’s dictatorial visionary and co-founder, Clifford Roberts, who ended his life at the edge of Ike’s Pond.

| To get a sense of what it would be like to be a member at Augusta National in modern times, look no further than Ron Sirak’s rare and vivid glimpse from 2003. Although for those with a penchant for the fantastical, better to check out David Owen’s alternate history from our latest issue, “Welcome to Georgia National,” in which he presents, based on original documents, the astonishing vision that could’ve led to a far different Masters tournament.
Are you a Bryson-hater or a Bryson-lover? No matter which camp, Chris Jones’ analysis—also from our latest issue—I guarantee will reshape your perception of the bomber as you watch the broadcast this week.
These pieces are all from “masters” of letters, but I’m not so modest as to not include my own essay from 2017, “The Best Part of The Masters Could be the One Thing That’s Missing.” It’s just a small example of how Golf Digest+ brings you surprising perspectives on all the angles of the game.
