'It's just a unique venue, unique competition.'

Gov. Ron DeSantis has traveled to dozens of major sporting events as Florida Governor, but the latest edition of his absolute favorite is happening this weekend.

“We hosted two Super Bowls since I’ve been Governor. I was at the National Championship basketball game with the University of Florida in San Antonio to watch that on Monday. I’ve been into the college World Series, all these things. But I’d say the Masters is probably the best sporting event I’ve ever attended,” DeSantis dished to friendly interviewer Mark Levin.

“It’s just a unique venue, unique competition, and I’m looking forward to doing it, to watching.”

The Governor is an avid golfer, with a golf simulator in the Governor’s Mansion. And he was willing to share what golfing the Masters course was like to Levin’s audience.

“I hit some pretty big drives. But man, you get in there and approach to these greens and it is just lethal. I mean, they’re lightning fast. They’ve got amazing contours. So you’ve got to have that short game,” DeSantis revealed. “I’ve had times where I’ve driven the ball really well and then just not scored as well.”

The Governor’s affinity for The Masters and the Augusta National Golf Club that hosts it extends to his appointments. President Fred Ridley is on the University of Florida Board.
