US EditionPlayers gauge hurricane-hit Augusta National's new look
- Hurricane Helene struck Augusta National in September, altering the course's landscape before the Masters.
- High winds from the hurricane caused trees to fall, damaging the 16th green and thinning parts of the course.
- The storm uprooted trees surrounding the 16th green, which then required reseeding and relaying after the damage.
- Rory McIlroy noted, "The loss of a few trees is definitely noticeable," and some shots may now be less visually intimidating.
- Despite the changes, Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley confirmed the course is in spectacular condition for the Masters.
