The first Major of 2025. This is the one the players want most. For 20 golfers, the Masters was their one and only Major. The first was Herman Keiser in 1946 and the most recent, Hideki Matsuyama in 2021. One leg of the Grand Slam . . . the players who need(ed) the Masters for the Career Slam were/are Jim Barnes, Lee Trevino, Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen and Rory McIlroy. It is a little unfair to include ‘Long Jim’ Barnes in this group (he was 6’4″ . . . so no, not what you were thinking) as his career was in the years just before Masters got going. His last significant victory was the 1925 Open Championship, nine years before the first Masters.
FUN FACT: Billy Casper won the Masters in 1970. He beat Gene Littler in what would be the last 18 hole playoff. Billy has and will always spend more time in his Green Jacket than any other champion. At the request of his wife, he was buried in his jacket when he died in 2015. Billy had 11 children, six who were adopted and 71 grandchildren.
