The Champions dinner menu is announced, fans are lining up their predictions and the players are gearing up for The Masters Tournament. The first Major of the year is the next big event on the PGA Tour schedule, and needless to say the golf world is eager to watch the players back in action at Augusta National.
While winning the Green Jacket glory is a celebrated feat in itself, there are three brilliant golfers who have won The Masters event back-to-back.
Let's take a look at the names of the players who have won the event on consecutive occasions.
