1997: Tiger Woods changes the game
Listen now
Description
The year is ... 1997, and this Masters is basically over. Remember those records that you recounted forever? They're about to be obliterated by a 21-year-old named Tiger Woods. After missing the cut at Augusta National in 1996, Woods comes back better (and longer) than ever. The game of golf will never be the same. On this episode, we go back in time to understand the meaning of everything Woods accomplished, we discuss why the rest of the field was inadequate and even dive into a previously unnoticed (and very questionable!) rules scenario that played out on Woods's 15th hole.
