We asked legendary sportswriter Wright Thompson a question: What actually makes the Masters so special? His answer taps into his decades spent immersed in Augusta's lore — not just as a writer but as a son, a sports fan, a Southerner, and more. He's written about Augusta National in feature stories, in sprawling personal essays, in tournament coverage, in TV voiceovers and more, making him the man for the job.
Thompson's appreciation for Augusta National is complemented by his love for the magic of the muni, which is why his new ESPN series 'Where it Lies' glorifies golf's grittier cathedrals. You can watch that here: espn.com/watch/catalog/ccbbc58d-14b2-4903-9f54-be72fbea8c0f
