This weekend will see Augustana National Golf Club become the epicenter of the sports world as the 2025 Masters gets underway. The spectacle is held in such high regard due to the mystique of the course and the top-notch pageantry that surrounds the tournament.
When things get underway on Thursday for the first round, one golfer playing in the tournament as one of the five amateurs in the field is a former member of the Iowa Hawkeyes men’s golf team.
