AP sportswriter Doug Ferguson tapped into his deep network within the golf world to gather exclusive and insightful content for Masters coverage. Working with Darrell Allen and Panagiotis Mouzakis, the team transformed that reporting into an engaging interactive graphic that offered readers a new way to experience Augusta National.
Ferguson interviewed caddies of past Masters champions, who shared their intimate knowledge of the course—from its unique challenges to the pitfalls that can derail a golfer’s shot at the Green Jacket.
The resulting hole-by-hole interactive walks readers through each part of the course, showing what players are trying to do—and what they must avoid—on every hole. The project appealed to both casual golf fans and seasoned enthusiasts, delivering a deeper understanding of the strategy and difficulty behind one of golf’s most iconic tournaments.
