Once all-male Augusta National to see first woman winner

Two earlier rounds at nearby Champions Retreat were set to get underway today, a global field of 72 fighting for the chance to play at Augusta National at the weekend. “I think it’s going to be wonderful for the world of golf,” said two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw. But it does inspire dreams that top women’s professionals might someday play shots through “Amen Corner” in their own high-profile event.

Fred Ridley, a father of three daughters who became Augusta National chairman in 2017, announced the event last April, hopeful it would extend the amateur golf legacy of club co-founder Bobby Jones and advance women’s golf. “We are delighted to have several women as members in our club,” he said last April. “They are great contributors. They have added to our culture. And while I won’t go into specifics, I will assure you that there will be more women members at Augusta National.
