PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – A report that Augusta National Golf Club may look into lengthening one of its most iconic holes did not sit well with at least one player who will be in the field at the upcoming Masters.
According to Golfweek, Augusta National officials are in negotiations to buy a parcel of land from neighboring Augusta Country Club. The move would free the club up to add a service road and create more room around the par-5 13th hole, but it would reportedly also allow them to lengthen the 510-yard hole by as much as 50 yards.
