All good things must come to an end. Even playing at the Masters.
We asked both current and past participants of the Masters to name the one thing they think they’ll miss most about the Masters when the invite stops arriving in the mail and their playing career is over?
Adam Scott
Nothing. I’ll still be there. That’ll be me. I’ll be looking for that letter saying please don’t come here anymore.
Brian Harman
Just the opportunity to win. That’s why we play – to win majors.
Collin Morikawa
Walking down the fairways and seeing how grand it is and just that feeling that you’re one of the golfers who gets to enjoy it.
Corey Conners
The feeling of driving down Magnolia Lane.
Gary Player
There is nothing that I miss because I had a feast of success for three decades at the Masters. When I left the “competitive” playing table I was well satisfied.
Gary Woodland
There’s nothing like walking down the back nine at Augusta. Hearing the roars, you don’t get that at other courses. I’ll miss 13 tee shot, hearing someone make birdie at 15 from three, four holes away. That tournament is just different and I’ll miss the energy.
Jason Day
The people. They are very welcoming to you. They are very strict on their rules but they will help you as much as they can within those rules.
Justin Thomas
The buzz. It’s the best and really hard to explain.
Keegan Bradley
The Par 3 contest.
Matt Fitzpatrick
Simply playing the golf course.
Matt Kuchar
When your chance to win is gone. I think that that’s everybody’s dream, to show up thinking this could be my year. At some point, if you don’t compete you know it’s not going to be your year. When that part is over, the dream of capturing a Masters title goes away.
Rickie Fowler
The walk up 18. I think that’s something as a kid I always dreamed about – that walk with a chance to win in front of the patrons and the reception you get there.
Webb Simpson
The Wednesday Par 3 Contest with my family and definitely driving down Magnolia Lane.
Xander Schauffele
Just getting the juices flowing of being on the property. Not being able to be there again, you’re going to miss it a lot.
Zach Johnson
Competing and that feeling of getting to the first tee and having the nerves of hearing your name is going to be really difficult to accept when it’s over. Fortunately, I’m still got a little ways away from that.
