The Masters is and will likely always be the most popular major championship. We saw three very different and interesting outcomes since 2015.

2015 was Jordan Spieth’s coming out party, as he tied Tiger Woods’ incredible record set in 1997, which was his official arrival. 2016 was a chance for Spieth to repeat, but with Augusta gobbling him up, we saw then world number 12, Danny Willet capture the title.

Finally, this year, we saw an exciting duel between two future Hall of Famers in Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose. Garcia, as we know, broke through for his first major victory.

The Masters is always a blast to watch and will continue to bring the best out of the game’s stars.  And, if you’re going a little further back in time, 2010, 2011 and 2012 were instant classics.
