Who is butler cabin named after

The Butler Cabin is probably one of the most important properties at Augusta National, but what exactly is it? Those that watch The Masters year after year will be familiar with the Butler Cabin, but what actually is it? Here we take a look. The Butler Cabin is one of the most historic properties at Augusta and is a place in which Masters Champions remember with great fondness. Directly after winning the tournament, the player who wins the Masters will be swiftly directed to the Butler Cabin, where he will be interviewed for the first time as a Champion.

The victorious player will also be presented with his Green Jacket for the first time by the previous year's champion. Over the years this has thrown up some interesting moments - Tiger Woods giving the Green Jacket to arch rival Phil Mickelson and Jordan Spieth giving the Jacket to Danny Willet after seemingly throwing away the tournament himself on the back nine. If any of the amateurs make the cut, the player who finishes the highest out of all of them will also be present where they will be given their trophy for low amateur.

There is no Par 3 contest this year, for the second consecutive occasion. The Champions Dinner is a gathering to which all former Masters winners are invited. By tradition, the previous year's winner suggests the menu, although options are provided for anyone who considers the menu not to their taste.

That helped him get into a hole playoff the next day with Craig Wood, which Sarazen won.

When was Augusta National "Tiger-proofed," what did that consist of, and why was it done? For most of its existence, Augusta National has played at slightly less than 7, yards. When Woods won in , he effectively transformed the par-5 holes into par 4s by easily reaching their greens in two shots, sometimes with as little club as a wedge.

Club officials decided to make changes - primarily adding length - after Woods won his second green jacket in Even with the changes, Woods won again in And again in More changes were made before the event, including the addition of trees and the narrowing of fairways. Woods has not won since. CBS network, the tournament's television broadcast partner for decades, also interviews the winner of The Masters in the Butler Cabin soon after the tournament's conclusion. Eisenhower was a member at Augusta National and frequent player of the course.

For reasons already alluded to, the most famous cabins on the Augusta National grounds are the Butler and Eisenhower cabins. Not that much!

First, note that the cost is incurred by the Augusta National member — whether the member is making use of one of the 10 cabins or not. If guests of a member are lodging in one of the cabins, the member, not the guests, incurs the lodging fee. No charges are made at the time. The cost is added to the member's tab; at the end of the year, each member receives a bill that covers all club fees, including such lodging fees.

In addition to the 10 cabins located on the grounds for guest accommodations, competitors in the Masters Tournament can also stay in the Crow's Nest atop the Augusta National clubhouse , which provides living space for up to five people and features a cupola with windows offering a view of the grounds.
