Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods a golfing legend, dominated the course to the extent that the Master’s committee at famed August National had to enact serious changes to their iconic golf course. These changes were known as “Tiger Proofing” and included planting trees, narrowing fairways, and allowing the rough to become overgrown. Players on the PGA Tour say that these changes have made the course tougher for everyone.

Bob Gibson
Back in 1968, Bob Gibson won a 15 straight game reaching a 23-9 overall record for the year. He was recording a 1.12 ERA with 268 strikeouts and 13 shutouts. The national League ERA was 2.99, but they felt obligated to make it more of a struggle for pitchers to succeed, thus they lowered the height of the mound to 10 inches. Gibson managed to keep up his skill, but he definitely wasn’t the same pitcher and ended with a 2.18 ERA and 20-13 overall record for the following year.
