Among the audience present at Augusta National Golf Club were finance men – but none knew about the “out there” chaos.
Augusta National Golf Club (Georgia, USA) is one of the few places where everyone has to disconnect from the rest of the world. You adherents who are there to see the Masters They have no mobile phone.
The Masters is the first “Major” tournament of the season before US Open, The Open Championship and The PGA Championship. It is similar to what happens in the tennis Grand Slam if they prefer.
In Masters, there are no adherents glued to the mobile phone, always publishing on social networks, always filming or taking photographs. They are just… seeing golf. Incredible.
In this tournament, whoever needs to urgently speak to the rest of the world, You have to order a mobile phone that the organization lends, for courtesy. There are some scattered throughout the golf club.
Masters 2025 runs from April 10 to 13 – and dictated the calendar that would take place the week when scholarship They oscillated as it has not been seen for years. Because of Donald Trump and the reactions that followed the new rates.
Among the public were Finance Men: Steven Vernon III works in the finance world, Kage Brown is the investment director of a real estate company.
None of them knew what was happening on Wednesday, “crazy” day at the economic level-in this case it was even climbs, After the US president announced a 90 -day tariff application in dozens of countries.
I.e, people who depend financially every minute, every second, What is going on in the bags… they didn’t even know that those rare climbs were taking place. And there in the masters, many of this group would be.
But, in fact, they didn’t even mind not knowing: “It’s a relief of negativity. It’s so good to be surrounded by a group of people who have left, ”said Kage Brown on The.
By the way, it was even this remuneration to put so many people At Masters on Wednesday: that day was not even the official start of the tournament. It was a smaller event of preparation. And yet there were tens of thousands of people.
It was a form of to relax.
Even Brett Mcatee seemed to be relaxing, even when I learned that Heritage fell more than… 220 000 eurosbecause of these twists in the markets. He even took a photograph with his wife, next to hole number 16.
It’s okay: “I honestly didn’t even think about it today. It would be good to recover some of that money, then.”
