Eureka Earth shared a number of overhead images of the Master’s course, Augusta National Golf Club since June 13 on their Twitter handle and ever since the debate about how much the alteration is invited in the golf world hasn’t come to a halt.

With the U.S Open around the corner, the golf world holds its focus on the Torrey Pines but the images that surfaced from the other side of the continent just made the head turn to the revamping of the Augusta National Golf Club. 

With the history of hosting the Master’s tournament, one of the four men’s major championships in professional golf since 1934. With the perfect greens of ryegrass, the club has been listed as No 1 in Golf Digest’s 2009 list of America’s 100 greatest courses and was ranked 10th in Golfweek Magazine’s 2011 list of best classic courses in the United States.

With the summer closing post the season, the National has now set its course for the tweaks for the next session though this time, the bird-eye view only makes it look a little deeper on the tangent of renovation. 

With a significant reduction to the trees at the No 11 fairway at the club, the No 15 seems down with considerable work with major dirt removal across the club. The 11th has always been the toughest nut to crack with 505-yard par-4 with a few tweaks in the 2000s which moved the tee back and to the left, making it to be a difficult tee shot with the right side planted with a row of dense trees.

On an estimation, Augusta has always been rumoured for lengthening the par 5 to an extent of buying property from the neighbouring Augusta Country Club. With possibilities on the rise, this might just be the leap the course had always wished to take. 

In the most recent tweets by Eureka Earth, No 13 at the club has also seen the light of the revamp hence with the chance of opening its gates to a new Augusta National Golf Club in October 2021.

The 2022 Masters are scheduled for April 7-10.
