Golf Art PGA Art The Masters Thomas Jordan Art
Tom has completed work on another long awaited Tribute painting, The Masters Tribute. The Masters Tournament is one of the four major championships in professional golf and the first major of the year, always held at the same location, Augusta National Golf Club. The Masters was started by amateur champion Bobby Jones and investment banker Clifford Roberts. First played 86 years ago in 1934, the tournament is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour. The field of players is smaller than those of the other major championships because it is an invitational event, held by the Augusta National Golf Club. The tournament has a number of traditions. Since 1949, a green jacket has been awarded to the champion. Jack Nicklaus has the most Masters wins, with six. Tiger Woods has won five. Arnold Palmer has won four. Five have won three titles at Augusta: Jimmy Demaret, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Nick Faldo, and Phil Mickelson. Player, from South Africa, was the first non-American player to win the tournament, in 1961; the second was Seve Ballesteros of Spain, the champion in 1980 and 1983.
