2001 Masters Media Guide April 2-8

Augusta National, Inc., 2001

296 pages, illustrated with photos. Contents divided by with tabbed dividers: Founding, GOLF COURSE, MASTERS TOURNAMENT, STRUCTURES, LANDMARKS, RECORDS and STATISTICS AND MASTERS RESULTS (year by year results). 

This media guide is notable for the year Tiger Woods won the tournament for his fourth consecutive major tournament championship. Had he done it in the same calendar year, Woods would have become only the second player to ever win golf's Grand Slam. However, his victory string started in the previous calendar year and his version of the Grand Slam became known as the Tiger Slam.
