Description
When the world is in disarray, what, if anything, is the role of professional sports? Specifically, what's the role of the Masters, a tournament that has always felt like an escape from everyday life? To explore those questions, Garrett Morrison talks with Curt Sampson, the author of several books on golf history. Garrett and Curt focus on the 1968 Masters, which took place at a time—like 2020—when society seemed to be unraveling. Ultimately, that edition of the tournament failed to provide the comfort many fans sought.Reading material: Curt's Golf Digest essay on the town of Augusta during the 2020 Masters; The Lost Masters: Grace and Disgrace in '68; and The Masters: Golf, Money, and Power Augusta, Georgia
