Masters 2022: If millennials ran the Masters
The year is 2049. Cole Sprouse is president of the United States and a mostly cybernetic Tiger Woods is still stuck on 15 majors. Across the world, the dreaded millennial has risen to the highest echelons of power, even at the Masters, where time once stood still.
With much of the old guard retired to the Great Par 5 in the sky, the new leadership has made a few tweaks to the tournament's time-honored formula, and we're here to help get you acclimated.
