Team Troon On Tour: Recap of The Masters, Woods to tee it up at Kapolei, Montgomerie at Tiburón

Posted on April 12, 2021 by Kris Strauss

Once again, Masters Week failed to disappoint, with yet another exciting week all the way around. Congrats is in order to Hideki Matsuyama for being the first Japanese player to claim a major victory. It will be exciting to see how his victory impacts a country that is already super passionate for the game of golf. Related to Team Troon, three current Team Troon members played into the weekend with Justin Thomas leading the team with a T21 finish, followed by Matt Fitzpatrick at T34 and Gary Woodland at T40. Congrats to all and we are confident that they will be ready to contend in the next major (the PGA Championship at Kiawah). Complete Team Troon results are as follows:

  • T21 – Justin Thomas  73-67-75-73: E
  • T34 – Matt Fitzpatrick 74-70-73-73:  +2
  • T40 – Gary Woodland 73-72-75-72: +4  

 Coming Up This Week:

We have TWO nationally televised events taking place in Troon-affiliated locales this week!

Many of the game’s legends will be competing for the $1.6 million purse, including former major champions Bernhard Langer, Fred Couples, Retief Goosen, Mark O’Meara and Mike Weir, as well as World Golf Hall of Fame and Team Troon member Colin Montgomerie.
