No matter whether you’re a contestant or a fan, everyone seems to have their own Masters tradition.
It could be as simple as playing the Par-3 contest or skipping it across the pond at 16. But part of what makes the Masters so special to so many of us is it is the same course every year and we know it like the back of our hand and we count the days until the week of the Masters in April so that we can enjoy all the things that make the Masters matter to us. To each his own, right? Here’s a list of traditions unlike any other for more than two dozen pros.

It’s pretty lame, but just driving over. I don’t get to drive to many tournament, just taking I-20 from our home in Atlanta. It’s so anticipatory. And every year I’m like the last one to register on Monday afternoon. If there’s 90 people, I’m 89.
