Augusta National may be preparing to evoke memories of two of golf's epic Masters contests -- 30 years on from Jack Nicklaus's historic sixth green jacket and 20 years after Nick Faldo's ruthless destruction of Greg Norman -- but there is another player who should not be overlooked.
Ian Woosnam will return to the scene of his finest hour when, 25 years ago, the Welshman triumphed against the odds, swatting aside the formidable challenges of Tom Watson and Jose Maria Olazabal to claim golf's ultimate prize on U.S. soil.
It mattered not that the green jacket draped over his shoulders by 1990 champion Faldo appeared about two sizes too large. It merely confirmed that a little man with prodigious talent had the capacity to slay the biggest beasts of the golfing jungle.
At 58, the golfer known universally as 'Woosie' will head down Magnolia Lane, the entrance to the Augusta National Golf Club, and it may feel like Memory Lane, but this time simply making the halfway cut would "feel like winning the tournament".
"It seems just like yesterday," admitted Woosnam, who is currently plying his trade on the Champions Tour in the U.S., while making sporadic raids on the European Senior Tour's leading events. "I sometimes sit back and think: 'Where have those 25 years gone?' But it's nice to look back and to have those memories."
At only 5-foot-4, Woosnam always felt like the odds were stacked against him, but his lack of stature only served to bring out the belligerent best in the Welshman, whose obduracy has served him well down the years.
Back in 1991, Woosnam faced a number of challenges. First, he had to contain the relentless surges of Olazabal, Lanny Wadkins, and playing partner Watson in the final round. Then, he had to subdue the excesses of the Augusta National crowd, who evidently craved a long-overdue home victory.
"There hadn't been an American winner for a few years, and the crowd was up for it," recalled Woosnam. "I remember they clapped when I knocked it into the creek at 13, but that only made me more determined.
"I played with Watson over the last two days, but I wasn't worried. I had played for an entire career in Europe against guys like Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer, Nick Faldo and Sandy Lyle. You get to know that you are just as good as them, so that did help knowing I could finish off the job.
"You felt you were following in their footsteps. Seve led the way and it was a case of the rest of us using his achievements as the benchmark for what we could do as well. That's pretty much what I was trying to do that week."
It was a week which hinted at the potential of greatness ahead. Before leaving the UK, Woosnam won the Mediterranean Open on the European Tour in Spain and shot 57 around his home track of Oswestry. Soon afterwards, he had picked up another title in New Orleans on the PGA Tour and headed for Augusta with an impending sense of destiny.
"I was in the middle of a streak where I was playing exceptionally well from tee to green" he said.
"I knew if my putting was even half decent I had a chance of winning a major. I remember heading to America feeling that it could be a big year.
"The biggest concern was trying to make sure everything came together in the right week. That's the hardest part -- peaking for the big ones. That week at Augusta in April 1991, everything came just right."
On that iconic 18th hole at Augusta, the challenges of Olazabal and Watson dissolved, the former visiting the front bunker on his way to a bogey 5 and two-time past winner Watson tangling with trees and the same pot of sand on his way to a double-bogey 6.
That left Woosnam, who propelled his tee shot a long way left to leave a 9-iron to the green, with a 5-foot putt to win. That familiar lunge forward with fist clenched (above) is a picture forever framed in Masters folklore.
These days, the anniversaries are rushing towards Woosnam: he has been a professional 40 years and celebrate the Masters milestone as well as the 10th anniversary of his successful Ryder Cup captaincy at The K Club in Ireland.
"Great memories," he said, and he may have to make do with them being just that. Even though that 1991 Masters victory was only one of more than 50 worldwide which carried him to World No.1 in 1992, Woosnam has yet to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
"What will be, will be," he said, the lack of recognition still a source of annoyance. Another source is the people who occasionally remind him of "the one that got away", when he was penalised two strokes for having 15 clubs in his bag while challenging for the lead in the 2001 Open Championship at Royal Lytham.
"That's one you don't want to have in the memory bank," he admitted. "But you can only laugh about it now. That's golf -- the good, the bad and the ugly. Put it all together, and it's been a great time."
