Mark Calcavecchia, a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour, learned April 8 that no one is above the rules when it comes to playing Augusta National Golf Club during Masters week.

According to Golfweek, Calcavecchia “didn’t offer any details, but he also didn’t deny that it happened” when he was reached by phone and asked to explain what led to his removal from the course.

Calcavecchia, 65, has enjoyed a durable and often colorful professional career, highlighted by a major championship and sustained success.

The Nebraska native turned professional in 1981 and joined the PGA Tour the following year. His early years wre marked by inconsistency — he lost his tour card after the 1985 season — but he quickly re-established himself, earning his first victory at the 1986 Southwest Golf Classic.

Calcavecchia’s breakthrough came in 1989, his signature season. He won three times on tour, including the Open Championship at Royal Troon, where he defeated Greg Norman and Wayne Grady in a four-hole playoff to claim his only major title.

Over nearly three decades on the PGA Tour, Calcavecchia compiled 13 victories and more than 140 top-10 finishes. He’s earned more than $24 million since turning pro.

Calcavecchia remained competitive into the 2000s, highlighted by a record-setting performance at the 2001 Phoenix Open, where he made 32 birdies and set a then-tour scoring mark. His most recent PGA Tour win came in 2007 at the PODS Championship.

Calcavecchia also represented the United States in multiple international competitions, including four Ryder Cup teams (1987, 1989, 1991, 2002).

After turning 50, Calcavecchia transitioned to the PGA Tour Champions in 2010, extending his competitive career. Over time, he amassed 29 professional victories worldwide and remained active in senior events.

One day before The Masters is scheduled to begin, Calcavecchia’s latest 15 minutes of fame served as a literal wake-up call.
