Augusta National is one of golf’s great cathedrals.
To be there is the equivalent of seeing the Sistine Chapel or visiting the Vatican. For some, it’s a religious experience.
But where on the revered course does it feel the most hallowed or special?
That was the question we posed to more than two dozen contestants of the Masters, both past and present. Some are lucky enough to change their shoes in the club’s Champions Locker Room, some won other majors or reached No. 1 in the world but they’ve all had the privilege to participate in the first men’s major of the year and identified where it is that a very special place feels a little extra special.

Standing on the Hogan Bridge on 12. My dad has played Augusta National twice. He said every time you get on the bridge turn back and look because you’ll never get that view from TV.

Anytime you get down there on 12. It’s got so much history. Being on the 12th tee box is as good as it gets.

I think 2 green and 15 green have a special feel. The 15th green is a little lower where it echoes a little bit more. You have eagles, you have chip ins. You can have those big roars and it’s a cool spot.

Left of 11, 12 green, left of 13 where you are kind of on your own. So Amen Corner to the left side.

There are a lot of spots, but 12 is a special place. The 10th green is a special place for me, 18 is special.

When you start walking down 10 and see 11 and 12, that is as special as it gets.
A sign for Amen Corner…
