The iconic event of the golf world, the Masters Tournament, is over, and Jon Rahm came out victorious. Traditions are the essence of the Masters tournament; that is what makes it beautiful and memorable. However, these traditions are not confined to the event only. There are a few oral histories that are followed by everyone. And this time, PGA Tour pro, Collin Morikawa also seems to be joining in along with the fans.
Collin Morikawa is waiting for the precious moment
Morikawa began his journey on the PGA Tour with 22 consecutive made cuts. It was only second to Tiger Woods‘ 25-cut streak. The pro did great at the Masters. However, the beginning was not good, as he was accused of cheating. And later, he had to clarify that he was being honest. But the event ended on a good note for him. The 26-year-old Cal grad finished in a four-way tie for 10th place with world No. 1 and defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, and Matt Fitzpatrick.

He was tied for fourth when play was suspended due to bad weather in the midst of the third round on Saturday. Eventually, things changed, and he won $432,000 prize money for his performance at the Masters. And now that the event is over, he is following the years-old tradition of deleting the Masters app from his phone. But is even more eager for the next season.
He tweeted his feelings and said, “Can’t wait to download the best app in the world again in 51 weeks.” After Masters, fans generally delete the app and download it again during the event, which is approximately 51 weeks. Therefore it is clear that the app is out, but the excitement is building up for 2024. Earlier, the app was scrutinized for the AI commentary introduced, but later fans were on board with it. This app might bring more surprises for golf fans in the future.
Are the fans following the same tradition?
The comment section was full of agreement. Many fans were on board with deleting the app now and then downloading it a year later. However, some fans did not delete the app, and they also explained why: out of love for the event.

But some fans did not understand the idea of removing the Masters app from the phone. They were confused and asked questions.
I leave it on my phone year round out of principle

Why you even deleting it?

It wasn’t the same for all. While some loved the app, some fans had serious concerns about lagging and freezing.
By far the best app and website/streaming experience of any sporting event @TheMasters

Why does it have such a delay though 😩

Lucky for you, you get to be playing golf while it freezes for 20 minutes at a time at least once an hour.
