The Masters has produced some incredibly memorable moments throughout the years.

This year was no different, when Rory McIlroy finally won The Masters and completed the Grand Slam in the process.

Butch Harmon claimed at the time that McIlroy’s win at The Masters was the most impactful victory at Augusta National in history.

Over the last decade at Augusta National we’ve seen Tiger Woods win his 15th major championship, Scottie Scheffler win twice in three years, Jordan Spieth run away with the green jacket in 2015 and Sergio Garcia end his long wait for a major win.

Woods is the man who has given us the most memorable moments at The Masters since he turned pro 28 years ago.

He has five green jackets to his name and has thrilled the patrons at Augusta since his first win there way back in 1997.

Unfortunately for one player, his own memorable moment has been forgotten about due to Woods’ most famous shot at The Masters – his chip-in on the 16th hole during the final round in 2005.

Trevor Immelman made possibly the most forgotten about hole in one in Masters history

Trevor Immelman finished in a tie for fifth place at The Masters in 2005, eight shots adrift of Woods – the eventual winner.

However, it was still an unforgettable tournament for the man from South Africa.

He made an incredible hole in one on the 16th at Augusta National.

However, Woods was playing in the group behind, and went on to hit what is now widely regarded as the most famous shot in the history of the game – his chip-in on the 16th hole.

The 15-time major champion’s moment of brilliance meant that everyone quickly forgot about the hole in one made by Immelman just a few moments earlier.

Luckily for Immelman, he had an even better moment at Augusta just three years later, when he won the tournament with Woods finishing in second place, three shots back of the South African.

What happened to Trevor Immelman after he won The Masters?

The 45-year-old really struggled with his form and injuries after his win at Augusta 17 years ago.

Immelman retired from playing professional golf in 2019, and transitioned into a career in broadcasting.

He is well known for his diligent research and unrivalled depth of knowledge about the history of the game.

It’s a shame that he never really kicked on after winning The Masters in 2008.

At least he will always have a green jacket though, and no golf fan will forget that, unlike his hole in one in 2005!
