Sunday was supposed to be the final round of the Masters. But, of course, those plans were put on hold — along with the rest of the sports world — amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
Instead, golf fans enjoyed the re-airing of the 2019 Masters where Tiger Woods ended his 11-year major-less drought to earn the green jacket.
During Sunday’s telecast, Tiger reminisced on the win in an interview with Jim Nantz. He looked back on how the win represented the first time his kids got a chance to see Peak Tiger in action. The official Masters Twitter account also offered a look back on Tiger’s win with some behind-the-scenes photos.
But one photo, in particular, stood out. … a note from Phil Mickelson.
The Masters account shared a series of photos from the Champions Locker Room last year, and evidently, Phil had a note scribbled on a cocktail napkin waiting for Tiger after the round.
It’s better for their rivalry if you read that note with an ironic tone, but I think Phil was being genuine there.
As far as napkin notes go, that was a great gesture.
