Patrons walking the grounds of Augusta National during the 2025 Masters might notice a familiar face behind the camera of one of the on-course photographers. That’s because Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. is working as a credentialed photojournalist throughout the tournament.
Griffey has found a second passion in photography after an illustrious career in baseball that spanned 22 seasons. Since retiring, he has appeared at various sporting events as a photographer. Notably, this year marks his first opportunity to capture moments at the Masters.

Griffey isn’t the only former baseball great pursuing photography. Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson also took this path, sharing that Griffey sought his advice regarding the field. “He wanted to capture moments of his kids,” Johnson said.
Griffey, who spent over two decades in the MLB primarily with the Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds, hit 630 home runs through his career, placing him seventh in all-time home run records.
