AUGUSTA, Ga. — We know all the old highlights by heart. Tiger Woods double-fist-pumping after his miraculous chip-in at the 16th hole in 2005. Embracing his father after his 1997 victory at Augusta. Sunday red, so much Sunday red.
But the spot on 16 where he chipped from no longer exists. Earl Woods has been gone for almost 20 years. And Woods hasn’t worn a red shirt at a major tournament in a year, hasn’t raised a trophy in any tournament since 2019.
Augusta National persists, but the champions always change.
