Audio from the Augusta National Archives

archives.
A Masters History: Anniversary Special highlights the
50th and 25th anniversaries of the 1968 and
1993 Masters. 1968 champion Bob
Goalby sits down to look back on his final round 66 to tie
Roberto De Vicenzo at
11-under. Before they could compete in an 18-hole playoff to
decide the winner, however, it was discovered that De Vicenzo had
signed an incorrect scorecard, resulting in a disqualification for
De Vicenzo and a green jacket for Goalby. Bernhard Langer recaps his second Masters
victory in 1993, and his skillful second nine play on Sunday to
pull away from the field. Sergio
Garcia is also interviewed and discusses last year's Masters
win and his first major victory. The special airs during
Masters week and is available on SiriusXM On Demand now at

History: Tiger at Augusta

with commentary from former coach Hank
Haney. The special airs during Masters week and is
