Tom Watson Honored to Be an Honorary Starter | The Masters



Tom Watson and his fellow Honorary Starters Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player meet with the media on Thursday at the Masters Tournament. #theMasters

Since 1934, the Masters Tournament has been home to some of golf’s greatest moments. Amidst blooming azaleas, towering pines and flowering dogwoods, the first full week of April ushers in a stage unique to golf and to sport. Over four days and 72 holes, the smallest field in major championship golf competes for a chance to capture the Green Jacket and a place in Masters history.

  1. The 3 elder living statesmen of our great game , and Tom yes you deserve to be carrying this torch until the day you depart the earth!
    Thank you for your presence gentleman!🙏🏻❤️👍

  2. 3 Legends, carrying on the tradition, I cried when watching the honorary starters. So much greatness at one time, truly a treasure to get to see it.

  3. Tom is a 6 time PGA player of the year. And 8 time major champion. And is deservedly on most top 10 greatest golfers lists. Of course he belongs there.

  4. Lee Elder starting would've been such a more substantial story. Or the stories Lee Elder could tell about the Azaleas in 1975. Rat In Peace Mr. Elder.

  5. Why didn’t they ask Jack and Gary any questions. I liked the honorary starter press conferences when they asked each of the three men questions. It’s almost disrespectful to have Mr. Nicklaus and Mr. Player there and not ask them something. Hopefully they change this going forward.

  6. The humility of a true gentleman, is Tom Watson, I've followed him from the seventies when he dominated the open championship, hes a wonderful champion, a true great in the game that has been proven over his years in tournament play,to you Mr Watson I wish you long life and health,its been a pleasure watching you over the years,and 100% deserve you place beside Jack and Gary.
