Before the players brought their own teams to Augusta, there were men like Big Carl.

Carl Howard, better known as “Big Carl”, was part of Augusta National’s legendary local caddie corps, a predominantly Black group of men whose understanding of the course became an essential part of Masters history.

For decades, Masters competitors were required to use Augusta National caddies. That meant these men weren’t simply carrying clubs. They knew the greens, the slopes, the wind, the misses and the places you absolutely did not want to leave the ball. Their knowledge became part of the competitive fabric of the tournament. That tradition lasted until 1983, when players were finally permitted to bring their regular tour caddies.

Big Carl became immortalized in one of golf’s most effortlessly stylish images: Chi Chi Rodriguez and Carl Howard at the 1975 Masters. The pairing happened under that old Augusta rule requiring players to use a local caddie.

And there’s another layer to 1975: that same Masters was the first to include a Black competitor, Lee Elder. So while Howard stood inside the ropes as part of a generations-old Black caddie tradition, Augusta National was only then beginning to confront a very different chapter of representation on the other side of the bag.

Howard remained connected to Augusta National for decades. A former coworker remembered working alongside him there for nearly 30 years, describing him simply as someone who was “loved by all.” Howard died in October 2025.

Respect to Carl “Big Carl” Howard.

Let’s talk golf games.

Scramble. Best Ball. Nassau. Wolf. Vegas. Alternate Shot. Same course, completely different energy.

Consider this your Golf Games Cheat Sheet for the next time somebody on the first tee says, “Alright, what are we playing?”

Save it. Send it to the foursome. And tell us what game your group always goes back to.

Does golf need more comfort?

@on plans to enter the category in early 2027, bringing its premium playbook—used in running and tennis—to the course. Its stated aim: performance products and experiences that connect course, stadium, and street. No launch collection has been announced yet.

Bad golf happens.
Slow golf is a choice.

Respect the group behind you. 😂

Love seeing @kingjames enjoy every part of the golf journey. A few balls at the range turned into a quick nine and another reminder of why the game pulls people in.

“It’s 1 beautiful game.” ⛳️

Same rules: smooth line, good pace, don’t overthink it.

Everybody remembers the backwards hat. We need to talk about the golf fits.

Ken Griffey Jr. spent the late ’90s and early 2000s showing up to Pro-Ams in relaxed trousers, knits, mock necks, visors and oversized polos that somehow feel more current now than a lot of what came after.

No costume.
No “golf lifestyle” aesthetic.
Just personal style brought onto the course.

Griffey’s golf fashion was a sleeper.
