20 revealing photos from the 2015 Masters

Published

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

3bb22fc276125fe804888ae0517dbf96And 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.

5e8c3afce5a3d82cd26d153d581390ed

And she wears boots with really long laces.

Gary Woodland wears a 42 Long Green Jacket.

8b407820cea6f5b54415baf6ed06913bAnd 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

46b5570263113fc9b76f4ef4b181238f

And they’re willing to admit that publicly.

Rickie Fowler has a new Matrix Prototype driver shaft in his Cobra Fly-Z+ driver

95a4efda249d37bee0f38771b09c1246

And he’s intrigued by Phil Mickelson’s Callaway Mack Daddy PM-grind wedge.

The Masters has its own drinking cups

97ebfcd547e42cb02b6f19a5ca73d251

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

584a7da79853071502a0329305ee5a4dAnd 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

02364c516747da30de129d54bd7a301a

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

5076ae0d9252210b4c802048c08a0160

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.

05768cdbac27a475be226ef1b0e1f39e

Seriously, can someone get stared down any harder?

The green complexes at Augusta look even more difficult than on TV

15379b094f76f8866972a38b3124eaf0

How many humps, bumps and breaks can you have on one green?

Tiger’s glove has a looser fit than his shirts

c715c3e4d664a201f10bf50169bd5de4

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

ceb2875ba301010abf3175ac55af63cbNo contest.

All-pink everything

d075e43a1c7408ad38494846a6f569c8

Bubba Watson even uses a pink Sharpie to mark his golf balls.

Half-log benches look awesome

e241f2b1d258adf61076cca1ca08509c

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
