Bubba Watson Shares Masters Magic in Exclusive InsideGOLF Video

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Golf star Bubba Watson showcased his unique shot-making skills during a recent driving range session at Dutchman’s Pipe, revealing favorite moments from his illustrious Masters career.
In mid-January, Watson demonstrated his ability to manipulate the golf ball like few others can. As he provided tips on hitting the ball with precision and flair, he couldn’t resist grabbing a club himself, showcasing a striking hook reminiscent of his iconic 2012 victory at Augusta National.
Watson’s impressive shot created a 129-foot curve as winds kicked up, offering a perfect transition into discussing one of his most memorable moments at the Masters—his playoff win over Louis Oosthuizen in 2012.
During the session, Watson ranked his top moments at the Masters, which were later compiled into an exclusive video for InsideGOLF members. His list was filled with remarkable shots that have defined his career.
“First was that winning moment in 2012, the hook on 10,” Watson said. “But then there was that incredible shot from the trees on 18.” He recalled launching a ball beneath a leafy canopy, illustrating the unpredictable nature of golf.
Another highlight came from a challenging situation at Hole 11, where Watson faced the daunting task of playing a rope-hook shot over a pond. Despite his caddie, Ted Scott, urging him against the risky move, Watson executed it flawlessly. “It was one of those shots that tested everything,” he said, nonchalantly downplaying the difficulty.
When asked about the rarity of such shots, Watson asserted their frequency. “Nah, they’re 1-in-10, maybe? Because I’ve done these before when I’m at home. Now you’ve got to do them in the Masters,” he remarked.
The video, available exclusively for InsideGOLF members, delves deeper into Watson’s analysis of these extraordinary moments and highlights a particularly muddy wedge shot he played on his way to victory in 2012.
