Normally, the Masters take on a rather serious tone, but the case was different for 2014 as comedian Will Ferrell provides a summary.
Will Ferrell funnily talked about various people and golf elements such as Jim Nantz's voice, Ryan Seacrest announcing the event, getting a com dog in Australia, Rory McIlroy's height and even why Augusta can make keychains out of the Eisenhower Tree, according to Bleacher Report.
Ferrell was asked questions in a video to share his insight on the current tournament called "Masters Thoughts With Will Ferrell", as presented by Golf.com. The video unfolded with piano music dramatically playing in the background. He first shared that if he needed to unwind and or fall to sleep, he'll play "Jim Nantz, from the Masters". If he needed more life and hype to the Masters, he'll probably have Ryan Seacrest announce the event, since the "American Idol" host has great teeth and the right background. For the background music, he'd have piano, accordion and Randy Jackson play bass.
The comedian also shared the things he liked most about the tournament, such as having the greatest golfers in the world play in the same beautiful venue. Ferrell added that the corndog is just outside the gates along with other fast food, describing it as a "reverential experience". He said he was kicked out of the Masters after being too noisy while watching K.J. Troy Zestos. He said it would be great to dice up the Eisenhower Tree and make several key chains as well as a kiosk to honor the landmark.
When asked about handicaps, he poked at Rory McIlroy's height by saying that he's one of the shortest in the tournament at only 4'2. It would be unfair to pit McIlroy and Bubba Watson. "It would be physical." Ferrell said, writes CBS Sports.
Ferrell maintained his serious tone throughout the interview, despite the hilarious insights. He is a known golf fan. He was at the 2008 Masters following Adam Scott with another couple. He was just as funny back then.
