The Masters
From April 9 to April 12 one of the biggest events in golf will take place in the beautiful Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. The best golfers from around the world will battle it out for the extremely rare and coveted Green Jacket in the 79th annual Masters Tournament. The big headline this year is Tiger Woods's announcement to return to glory at the Masters after a 9 week hiatus from the PGA tour. When asked what Tiger had done in preparation for the tournament, he replied with a simple, "I worked my ass off." It has been ten years since Tiger won his last Masters Tournament back in 2005. This year he will have to go up against some big names like two time winner and reining champion Bubba Watson, the young and talented Jordan Speith, and of course, the world's number 1 greatest golfer today, Rory Mcilroy. Nike recently came out with a spectacular commercial in preparation for the tournament. It depicts a young Rory watching Tiger's performances through the years as he dominated the Masters. It was an absolutely perfect way to pin these two superstars up against each other. This years Masters Tournament will definitely be one for the ages.

You are very knowledgable about a wide range of sports and you pick interesting stories to cover. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! This weekend will definitely be an exciting one! This new Nike commercial is a great way to promote the brand and the event. It uses emotional pull to capture your attention and get the inspirational message across.
ReplyDeleteCole I am glad you chose to talk about the Masters as it is probably my favorite sporting event of the year. I think the best way to describe this place is heaven on earth. I love all the tradition and of course the fierce competition.
ReplyDeleteI am extremely excited for the Masters this year and was surprised with how low some of the scores were after the first day yesterday. Jordan Speith is an incredible young talent who may give Rory a run for the top spot in a few years in he continues to progress the way he has every year. I have him as my overall winner and would be great if someone that young could win such a prestigious tournament.
ReplyDeleteI have never really been a fan of watching nor playing golf, until about a year and a half ago when I started playing around for fun and now it has become much more of a hobby. It's unbelievable to see the talent that some of the young, and even the older players have when competing in events like the Masters. Hopefully, Spieth is capable of holding on strong to his lead and bringing home 1st place. At 21 years and 8 months old, I will never be able to play on that type of level and I'm already about to pass 22.
