[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…‘Heroes of the Masters.’

The first African American participant Lee Elder (USA), three-time Masters champion Gary Player (South Africa), and six-time champion Jack Nicklaus (USA, from left) appear. On the night of the 8th (Korean time) at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA (par 72, 7,475 yards), they waved to the patrons' cheers during the opening ceremony of the ‘Masters Showdown.’ The Masters traditionally began the official event with tee shots by Nicklaus, Player, and Arnold Palmer every year. After Palmer's death in 2016, only the two legends participated, but this time Elder was added. Augusta (Georgia, USA) = Getty Images / MultiBits
