I'd be interested to see if they replace it. I could see them holding off until after the Masters. Would take a lot of equipment to rip that one up and bring in a new one. Would be rough on the grass.


The Augusta National can get things done a lot faster than any course in the world. Too many resources and a lot of money will make it look like nothing happened.

I'm aware. But they are dealing with a lot more unusual circumstances than they normally do. Replacing a pine tree that doesn't come into play much might not be at the top of the priority list.

Sounds like they had a reserve pine tree already tapped as the tree's replacement, but not sure whether that tree survived the storm either.
