HOW TO WIN THE MASTERS BY 18 FORMER CHAMPIONS

TREVOR IMMELMAN

2008 CHAMPION

Augusta has become a much harder driving course over the years. There are many tee shots which are quite narrow, starting at the 1st and even the 2nd now. They've drawn the tee box further back, which makes it a lot harder. Five is tough with the bunkers, the 7th has become a lot narrower. Nine as well, 11, 14... and then 17 and 18 are the two toughest tee shots of the day. A lot of people think you can tee it high and let it fly, but it's changed. Driving is more important than people realize, but it's still a second-shot course. If you can leave your ball in the right places on the greens to the different pins, it can provide you with some solid opportunities. But if you short-side yourself, or leave yourself putting downhill or across the slopes, you will have a real problem.

ADAM SCOTT

2013 CHAMPION

There's always been that kind of folklore that it's a good course to draw the ball, yet some of the most dominant players that have done well-like Nicklaus and Faldo and even Dustin winning - generally faded the golf ball. There's certainly been a big push on distance. That's what everyone is talking about, but I think being efficient with your driving is such a helpful thing at Augusta. You don't have to be the longest but if you can get it in play, you can create a lot of opportunities. For me, you've got to be very clear and not get up on the 13th tee, thinking the wind is really good for me to hit driver over the corner off the tee. It's about sticking to your game plan, having that clarity and calmness.
