The Masters is Coming after March Madness
The Masters is coming! Every March, during the NCAA Tournament, Masters broadcaster CBS starts airs its tantalizing promos that the Masters is coming as soon as March Madness names a new champion for college basketball. CBS actually begins airing those spots, full of color and catchy music in December during NFL football in the dead of winter.
The Masters is my favorite golf tournament in the world. I like it better than the Open or the PGA Championship or the Ryder Cup. There is something very unique about this stand alone golf tournament that is unmatched by any other golf event.
It was on this day in 1934 that the first Masters concluded with Horton Smith winning. It was actually called the Augusta National Invitational back then and there was no national television coverage. Who could have imagined what the Masters would have turned into today?
It’s never too early to dust off some Masters trivia questions on Craig Shemon and Company on ESPN Southwest Florida so tune in today and test your knowledge! Good luck!
