20 revealing photos from the 2015 Masters
Our weekly tour photos are great for checking out the latest equipment and apparel buzz in golf, or just killing time at work. But they’re also a great learning tool.
The photos from the 2015 Masters taught me a lot this week, and I share my newfound knowledge below.
Tiger Woods’ security guard ain’t nothin’ to mess with
And this is the most intimidating photo of a man wearing a pink golf shirt I’ve seen to date.
The Masters has its own water bottle labels
And I really want one as a souvenir.
Taylor Swift has a doppelganger prowling the grounds at Augusta National.
And she wears boots with really long laces.
Gary Woodland wears a 42 Long Green Jacket.
And uses a 48-degree Titleist Vokey 200 Series Spin Milled wedge with 10 degrees of bounce.
Don’t look at Rory’s Volt-colored golf bag for too long.
I learned this the hard way.
Chicago Bears fans really do exist
And they’re willing to admit that publicly.
Rickie Fowler has a new Matrix Prototype driver shaft in his Cobra Fly-Z+ driver
And he’s intrigued by Phil Mickelson’s Callaway Mack Daddy PM-grind wedge.
The Masters has its own drinking cups
Which I also need as a souvenir, immediately.
Jonas Blixt positions the FlipZone weight in the back setting on his Cobra Fly-Z+ driver
And still images of floating tees look cool.
Adam Scott is back to a long putter at the 2015 Masters
And he uses an actual level to warm-up on the putting green.
Tiger Woods is wearing his old TW ’11 golf shoes due to “swing changes.”
Looks like the new release pattern affects both chipping technique and wardrobe selections.
If you’re on a college budget, you can’t afford to not buy food at the Masters
And Augusta’s famous Pimento Cheese really is only $1.50.
The tee shot on hole No. 18 is as diabolically intimidating as it looks on TV
And it looks like laying up in front of the chute would be a heady play.
Snedeker’s caddy does NOT like when Tiger Woods is happy.
Seriously, can someone get stared down any harder?
The green complexes at Augusta look even more difficult than on TV
How many humps, bumps and breaks can you have on one green?
Tiger’s glove has a looser fit than his shirts
And he’s had a blister on his right middle finger for about 20 years now.
Ian Poulter owns the coolest Masters-themed putter cover of all time
All-pink everything
Bubba Watson even uses a pink Sharpie to mark his golf balls.
Half-log benches look awesome
Before seeing these photos, I had no idea I needed a half-log bench in my apartment. Now, it’s the only thing I truly need in the world.
Life exists in the town of Augusta, Ga. outside of the Masters

Best part about buying the soft drinks and beer is that they come in a nice plastic cup with the Masters logo. You can keep the cup and use them at your house, they make a great addition to any cupboard!!

Excellent article In fact I have been to the Masters 3 times and the other night was explaining to my wife about the benches that If I owned a golf course those would be the benches I would have. Not there this week but will watch on D-TV and eat Pimento Cheese sandwiches. I got the recipe for those off another golf blog
