The Masters Player Services Building
Augusta National has always set the standard. The new Player Services Building is no exception. Players arrive through an underground garage and enter a corridor lined with Alister MacKenzie's cross-section drawings of every hole on the course, the same architect who laid out Augusta alongside Bobby Jones in 1932. Before reaching the locker room, a lounge displays all four of Jones' 1930 Grand Slam trophies, on loan from the Atlanta Athletic Club for tournament week. In the main locker room, 100 lockers each come fitted with a personal safe, a phone charging shelf, and a gold-plated Masters map-and-flag emblem on every handle, with each amateur assigned a locker next to a Masters champion. Framed letters from Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods line the entry hallway, Woods' dated 1997 after his record-breaking win. A full performance and recovery floor houses physio and fitness facilities. The Magnolia dining room opens onto a porch overlooking the practice range. No media, no agents, no public. Just the best players in the world, in a building crafted to match the week.
