Remember the Masters - 1997

A lot of people don't know this, but in 1997 at the Masters, Tiger Woods played really well.

Tiger started the tournament shooting 40 on the front nine, but followed that up with a tidy little six-under 30 on the back, and pretty much ripped Augusta apart after that.

This was the Old Augusta National, the Short Augusta National, the Rough-less Augusta National and an Augusta National that Tiger Woods was a huge fan of. He went on to win the damn thing by 12 shots over Tom Kite (nope, not a misprint) and make Nike's "Hello World" ads pretty much the most prophetic ads of all time.
