Carl Jackson & Masters Champion Ben Crenshaw
The team retired in 2015 and Carl is one of the original African American caddies from Augusta. This year, Carl spent time with Jordan Spieth’s caddie, Michael Greller and helped him read the challenging Augusta landscapes leading to Spieths historic win. These reads were given to Jackson by legendary caddie “Pappy” Stokes years before. It is said Pappy saw the course built and studied it’s details establishing a knowledge base only shared in the most intimate circles.
