Thus, to celebrate Langer’s 40th appearance at the prestigious Masters Tournament last week, the company decided to display “two significant tools” from his career. Still making waves among fans, one of them included his persimmon driver from his victorious 1993 Masters campaign.
Interestingly, Langer claimed that his driver was the last wooden driver to win a Major. The 65-year-old won his second Masters title that year by defeating runner-up Chip Beck by a margin of four strokes.
Langer previously won the illustrious Green Jacket in 1985. The two wins at the Augusta National Golf Club remained the German’s only major championship victories on the tour.
