Golf - The Masters
Bobby Jones, one of the legendary players in history, was one of the men behind the creation of The Masters, which has become arguably the most glamorous tournament in Golf and a model for elite events in other sports. First held in 1934, and annually staged each April at the Augusta National in the US state of Georgia, the `trophy` awarded to the winner is a green jacket - which tradition dictates is presented by the previous year's winner. The 2020 tournament was delayed until November of that year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
