"The Masters Is My Life" -- Philip Russell Wahl, Sr.

A tribute to the late Phil Wahl, Sr., General Manager of the Augusta National Golf Club. Hired by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts in 1961 at age 26. He served as GM and played an important role in the development of The Masters Tournament as the world's most prestigious golf tournament and one of the most revered events in sports. He died in September 1978, at the pinnacle of his career at age 43, in a tragic car accident on Berckman's Rd. just outside of the the gates of the Augusta National. This commercial was filmed by Suntory Whiskey in 1978 for Japanese Television. Phil Wahl was highly regarded by the Japanese golf enthusiasts as "The Super Manager of the Augusta National Golf Club" and to the Japanese public as "Suntory Man". The comments that my father made about The Masters in 1978, "impossible, implausible endings," apply to the tournament even 37 years later -- TODAY!
