The Eisenhower Tree was a loblolly pine located on the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.[1] In the 1950s it was named after U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower who unsuccessfully lobbied to have it taken down after it interfered with his golf game. Due to its size, history, and location on a prominent golf course, it is considered iconic of the Augusta golf course[2] and is one of the most famous trees in American golf.[3] It was called "among the most famous landmarks in golf" by Cindy Boren in The Washington Post[4] and "arguably the most famous tree in golf" by Martin Dempster of The Scotsman.[5] In February 2014, the tree was removed after suffering extensive damage from a major ice storm.
