MEDINAH, Ill. – A professional for more than a decade and a PGA Tour veteran since 2012, Jason Kokrak estimates that he’s been invited to Augusta National Golf Club “a hundred times.” But the most iconic landscape in golf remains a mystery to him.
“Never gone,” Kokrak said.
Much like a hockey player who refuses to touch the Stanley Cup until he can engrave his name on it, Kokrak doesn’t want to drive down Magnolia Lane until it’s to play in his first Masters. That has remained elusive for the 34-year-old, this despite a consistent career that has included 208 starts and more than $11 million in earnings.
