Question: Which U.S. President had a tree named after him on the 17th hole at Augusta National Golf Club?
Answer: Dwight D. Eisenhower. The 34th President became a member at Augusta in 1948 and frequented the course during his two terms. He unsuccessfully lobbied for the tree to be cut down so as not to interfere with his shot, leading to the “Eisenhower Tree” name. In 2014, an ice storm caused extensive damage to the tree and forced its removal.
