Masters 2025: Ken Griffey Jr. arrives at Augusta as credentialed photographer
The 89th Masters Tournament has officially kicked off in Augusta, Georgia, with former PGA Tour golfer Jerry Pate sharing his predictions for the annual event. Pate, who has finished in the top five at the Masters twice, joined ‘Fox & Friends First’ to discuss the upcoming tournament and the players set to tee off at Augusta National Golf Club.
Meanwhile, baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. has showcased his photography skills at the Masters this week. Griffey, known for his exceptional baseball career that spanned over two decades, arrived at Augusta National as a credentialed photographer, rather than just a spectator with a coveted badge.
Griffey’s interest in photography began as a way to spend more time with his children. He explained that with the rise of social media, he wanted to capture moments with his kids and be more present in their lives. Becoming a photographer at the Masters allowed him to combine his passion for photography with his love for sports.
The Seattle Mariners legend, who is an avid golfer himself, has participated in previous Masters events. Griffey’s athletic abilities extend beyond baseball, as he has shown prowess on the golf course as well.
Throughout his illustrious MLB career, Griffey hit 630 regular-season home runs and earned 13 All-Star selections. While he is best known for his time with the Mariners, Griffey Jr. also played for the Cincinnati Reds from 2000 to 2008.
