Clifford Roberts, Augusta National, and Golf's Most Prestigious Tournament.

Written with the full cooperation of the Augusta National Golf Club, a noted golf writer goes behind the scenes of the legendary Masters tournament and depicts the notorious man who devoted himself to its success.

David Owen, the only author granted unlimited access to the archives of the Augusta National Golf Club, traces in unprecedented detail the history of the tournament that represents the ultimate challenge in the world of golf.

Weaving the historical record with telling quotations from great golf pros, club members, and staff, Owen sheds new light on the much-maligned Clifford Roberts, the club's driving force from its founding in 1931 until shortly before his suicide in 1977.

In a well-balanced evaluation of all the evidence - both good and bad - he argues that Roberts's meticulous attention to detail, his authoritarian manner, and his insistence on improving what others regarded as perfection, made the course (originally designed by Bob Jones and Alister MacKenzie) and the tournament what they are today.

Filled with stunning full-colour photographs of the course millions of people around the world glimpse on television every year, this is the book for every golf fan.
