Sarazen was 90 when he told this gem of a conversation with the Masters chairman: “I told Hord Hardin I was getting too old to play in the Masters, but he kept saying: ‘Gene, they don’t want to see you play. They just want to see if you’re still alive.”

Woods made an April Fools joke about playing in the tournament, but the five-time Masters champion will not be competing for a Green Jacket this year.
