With a Masters Golf Ticket, You Get to See the Greatest Golfer of All Times

 
If you love golf, you need to get your hands on a Masters golf ticket. After all, how else are you going to get to rub shoulders with the greatest golfing legends of all times? LetâEUR(TM)s look at a few of these in particular.
Gary Player
Gary Player hasnâEUR(TM)t played in a long time himself. However, he won the Masters in 1961 and this made him the very first Masters winner who wasnâEUR(TM)t American. His career didnâEUR(TM)t end here, of course. He won twice more, once in 1974 and again in 1978. This makes him one of only seven players who has ever won the Masters three times or more. He also came second in two occasions and finished in the top 10 fifteen times, and in the top 25 twenty-two times. An impressive track record!
Sam Snead
Sam Snead is known as SlamminâEUR(TM) Sam. He also won the Masters three times, being in 1949, in 1952 and once more in 1954. When he played in 1949, he was the very first to done the Green Jacket, which is now worn by all Masters winners. He came second on two occasions as well, finished in the top 5 nine times, entered the top 10 fifteen times and was in the top 25 no less than twenty-six times. His best win was in 1954, however, when he defeated Ben Hogan 70 to 71 in an 18 hold playoff. You can imagine the tension here!
Phil Mickelson
Phil Mickleson was an intriguing person, one who everybody knew simply had to win the Masters, but never seeming to actually do so. However, this changed in 2004, when he finally won, and he has won it twice more since then. In 2011, Mickelson played in 18 Master tournaments and was able to finish in the top 10 in thirteen of these matches. In nine of these matches, he finished in the top 5.
Arnold Palmer
Lastly, there is Arnold Palmer. He was the first player ever to have been able to win the Masters four times. He won it in 1958, in 1960, in 1962 and finally in 1964. In wire-to-wire, he won again in 1960 and he was runner up twice more. He finished in the top 5 nine times and played the Masters for 50 years in a row, from 1955 right the way through to 2004. He managed to beat both Dow Finsterwald and Gary Player as well.
