In the four installment of the “Great Golf Debates” senior editor Tod Leonard and staff writer Daniel Rapaport tackle the pressing question: Who had the better career, Nick Faldo or Phil Mickelson?

Rob CarrNicklaus, Palmer, Player, Phil. A guy named Woods. The Masters are synonymous with star power. It's where the world's best golfers play the world's best golf, and not because of some weird cosmic coincidence, but because the stage, the stakes, and the history DEMAND it. But while the big names make the big news at Augusta National year-in, year-out (most of the time, sorry Mr. Willett), it's the colorful, quirky, and often downright unbelievable cast of B characters that help to make the tradition unlike any other, well, unlike any other. So without further ado, we present the 13 best B characters in Masters history. You may not remember them, but they are anything but forgotten.
Dave Loggins
What were the Masters like before Dave Loggins? Can anyone even remember? Inspired by a visit to Augusta National in 1981, Kenny’s lesser-known cousin conjured up “Augusta,” one of the most enduring theme songs in sports. Sure, it’s no “Danger Zone,” but it has set the ..

In 1937 and 1938, Augusta National served as host for the PGA Seniors' Championship. The tournament, which debuted in 1937, was brought to Augusta National by co-founder Bobby Jones, who thought the event would be a platform to honor the pioneers who came before him.

Mike EhrmannWhile golf fans keep their fingers crossed for a November Masters, it's difficult to keep their spirits high during what would have been Masters week. But we here at Golf Digest and The Loop have done our best to fill this void with content ranging from Masters Rewatches to Masters Rankings to Masters Debates to Masters Did You Knows. We even ran our own Masters simulation to see who would have won this year's tournament. But you don't need to be good at math to predict a lot of things that would have been happening on Day 1 at Augusta National. And no, I'm not referring to the dent I would have already made in the media center's chocolate-chip cookie supply.
