Golf legend Bobby Jones envisioned a tournament that would host the best players from across the globe. In establishing what is today known as the Masters Tournament, his vision was realized.

Players and fans alike see the Masters as set apart from every other tournament. There are those who put the Open Championship (British Open) ahead of the Masters in terms of importance, but they are heavily outnumbered, at least on the western side of the Atlantic.

The competitors have deemed it a high honor to be extended an invitation to the tournament so closely tied to past champions like Gene Sarazen, Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus, all immortal legends of the game. It is such an honor that some hold the prospect of winning so near to their hearts and ambition that they prevent themselves from doing so. Greg Norman, though he would never fully admit it, most likely falls into that category. Though bad luck occasionally kept him from a green jacket, he was also frequently his own worst enemy.
