Any week in which Tiger Woods<\/a> tees it up is a special one, especially these days, as the 82-time PGA Tour<\/a> winner only makes a handful of official starts per year. But this week is particularly special as this will be the 25th time Tiger has played the Masters<\/a> at Augusta National Golf Club, where he's made so many memories over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It all started back in 1995 when a then-19-year-old Woods was the low amateur. Just two years later, he made all sorts of history as his reign of dominance truly began with a 12-shot victory. In 2001, the Masters served as the final leg of the famed “Tiger Slam<\/a>,” and he became just the third back-to-back winner at Augusta the following year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2005, there was the famous chip-in<\/a> on the par-3 16th en route to green jacket number four. And in 2019, he overcame ridiculous odds at age 43 to capture number five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Tiger's performances at Augusta over the last quarter-century aren't what we're here to discuss today. In fact, we're actually here to discuss the performances of those who've played alongside him at the Masters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of the allure of watching Woods is seeing how his playing partners fare, as there's obviously a lot of pressure that comes with teeing it up alongside one of the greatest golfers of all time. In his prime, most would buckle as they knew they couldn't keep up if he was on. It's arguably even more interesting these days as the vast majority of the players in this new generation took up the game because of Tiger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So with that in mind, we thought it might be fun to see how those who've played with Tiger Woods at the Masters have fared over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It's no secret that the Masters can often produce the lowest winning score of the four major championships<\/a> in a given year. It's not that Augusta National is easy by any means, but it certainly allows for more birdie opportunities than many of the courses used for the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, or The Open Championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThose who've played with Tiger Woods at the Masters haven't typically fared well over the years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
