Masters Survey 2025: What is one word to describe the drive down Magnolia Lane?
The drive down Magnolia Lane hits differently (so we hear). Even reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler articulated this feeling last week during his Masters press conference on March 19
'I think when you pull in the gates, I think that's the most special thing for me. I really feel like you're just kind of turning into this whole other world. It's like a different place than the world just outside the gates,' he said. 'And you pull in, and everything else just kind of melts away.'
Gary Woodland said he drives slower down it, especially the first day, so he can soak it all in.
'There's nothing like making that turn on to Magnolia Lane. I get goose bumps every time,' Matt Kuchar said. 'That turn down Magnolia Lane is like coming down the stairs as a kid at Christmas. You just know something awesome is around the corner.'
'It never gets old,' said Rickie Fowler. 'And it's it makes it even more fun when you have people going in with you, when it's there, you know, first time. And just to kind of see them experience it as well.'
Today's question to Masters champions and participants past and present was to name one word to describe the drive down Magnolia Lane?
'There's a lot more than just one word,' Fowler said.
We heard 15 different choices with just three repeats, which is pretty cool.
Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas and Webb Simpson: Peaceful.
Billy Horschel and Matt Kuchar: Goosebumps.
Gary Woodland: Perfect.
Adam Scott: Exciting.
Harris English: Incredible.
Rickie Fowler: Iconic
Stewart Cink: Anticipation.
Collin Morikawa: Aura.
Corey Conners: Magical
Kevin Kisner: Memorable.
Russell Henley: Butterflies.
Akshay Bhatia and Keegan Bradley: Special
Zach Johnson: Spiritual.
Jason Day: Unforgettable
Gary Player: Gratitude. To have played in the Masters more than anyone and to be making my 67th visit this year is simply incredible.

Angel Cabrera, in contention for a 4th PGA Tour Champions win this year, makes albatross
Aces are an anomaly, but most players know there's one result in golf that's even more rare than a hole-in-one: an albatross. It's highly unlikely (the odds are generally accepted as one-in-a-million), but it does happen from time to time when the best players in the world are in action. Advertisement Angel Cabrera was the latest to make a big bird, with a beautiful shot on the par-5 7th hole at TPC Wisconsin on Friday during the opening round American Family Insurance Open on the PGA Tour Champions. Cabrera won back-to-back majors in 2025 Cabrera, 55, is on an absolute tear in 2025, having amassed three PGA Tour Champions wins in the span of just six weeks earlier this year. He won the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational in April before taking first in back-to-back events in May at the Regions Tradition and the Senior PGA Championship, respectively. Cabrera could be in line for yet another victory as he and his team-event partner, Ricardo Gonzalez, are firmly in contention at the American Family Insurance Open. Advertisement The two-time major champion has had a long climb back to the spotlight in the golf world since being released from prison in Argentina in 2023. He spent two years behind bars after he was convicted in separate cases of domestic violence and threats against former partners.

Rory McIlroy has major ‘concerns' as new driver leads to shocking early exit from Canadian Open
Rory McIlroy added something big to his resume, but not in any desirable way. On Friday at the RBC Canadian Open, the Masters champion suffered an early exit from the tournament after having his second-highest score to par in any PGA Tour round of his career, missing the cut by 12. He shot 8-over 78, and his biggest troubles came in a messy fifth hole with a concerning quadruple bogey 8. 4 Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland plays his shot from the 18th tee during the second round of the RBC Canadian Open 2025 at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley on June 06, 2025 in Caledon, Ontario. Getty Images It marked McIlroy's highest score since shooting another 78 in the first round of the British Open last year. He had a double bogey on hole 11, along with four bogeys and two birdies. He also had a double bogey on No. 11, four bogeys and two birdies on Friday. It ranked as McIlroy's highest score in any non-major PGA Tour round. 'Of course it concerns me,' McIlroy said, per ESPN. 'You don't want to shoot high scores like the one I did today. Still, I felt like I came here obviously with a new driver thinking that that sort of was going to be good and solve some of the problems off the tee, but it didn't.' Friday marked the fifth time in McIlroy's career that he has carded an 8-over round, trailing only the 10-over 80 he shot in the opening round of the 2018 U.S. Open. 4 Rory McIlroy hit his approach shot from the rough on the fifth hole during the second round of the Canadian Open golf tournament in Caledon, Ontario, Friday, June 6, 2025. AP McIlroy, at 9-over, was 21 strokes behind Cameron Champ, who entered Saturday with a two-stroke lead in the final event ahead of the U.S. Open. The reigning Masters champion isn't involved in weekend play in a non-major tour for the first time since the 2023 Players Championship. 4 Cameron Champ hits his tee shot at the 12th hole during the first round of the RBC Canadian Open golf tournament. Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images 'Obviously, going to Oakmont next week, what you need to do more than anything else there is hit fairways,' McIlroy said. 'Still sort of searching for the sort of missing piece off the tee.' McIlroy has previously won the Canadian Open twice — in 2019 and 2022. 4 Rory McIlroy said he had issues with his new driver. Getty Images Champ was at 12 under and played the first 36 holes without a bogey. 'It's firmed up a little bit, but fairly similar to yesterday,' Champ said. 'The fairways I feel like were firming up a little bit. The greens slightly, but pretty close to how they were yesterday.'
