Amen Corner could look very different by the time next year’s Masters rolls around.
New aerial pictures shot by Augusta-based Eureka Earth appear to show work under way to make changes to the par-five 13th.
In the images, which were posted on Twitter, what appears to be a new tee box can be seen under construction, while the hole has had the turf stripped.

The pictures show a square area behind trees at the back of the existing tee, while there is also evidence of an attempt to recontour the fairway, which would significantly change the dynamic of the second shot.
Recontouring was carried out at several holes ahead of this year’s tournament, most notably the 11th.
Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley this year described making changes to the hole as a “possibility”, but gave no timeframe for alterations taking place.
