Aerial shows Augusta National's 13th hole has a new back tee
Back in April, Masters chairman Fred Ridley said there was “no timetable” for Augusta National Golf Club to potentially lengthen Azalea, its famed par-5 13th hole.
“That’s something that certainly we have considered and will continue to consider,” Ridley said, before later adding, “At some point in time, it’s something that we likely will do. We just don’t have anything to say about it right now.”
Less than eight months later, changes are apparently complete.
An aerial image taken by Eureka Earth in June showed work being done throughout the 13th hole, including to the teeing ground. In an updated photo posted Tuesday morning, a perfectly manicured new back tee was clearly visible.
