If you watched the 2021 Masters golf tournament, you may have seen The Caddie Network walking alongside eventual champion Hideki Matsuyama.
Well, kind of.
Matsuyama’s caddie, Shota Hayafuji, was one of a handful of caddies wearing a T-shirt with the green Caddie Network logo under their traditional, no-frills white jumpsuits. With Matsuyama leading Sunday’s entire final round at Augusta National, and a couple of unsnapped buttons on Hayafuji’s uniform assisting, the 4-inch logo got an unexpected close up — which our followers were quick to point out.

After Matsuyama secured his one-stroke victory, becoming the first Japanese player to win a men’s professional major golf tournament, Hayafuji offered a show of respect that will serve as a lasting image of the 2021 Masters.
What a moment. 👏👏 pic.twitter.com/TvT9Q8dplx
