Jack Nicklaus helps Tommy Aaron put on the Green Jacket at the 1973 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.

Birthday wishes go out today to a pair of former Masters champions, Tommy Aaron and Vijay Singh.

Aaron, who turns 78, won the 1973 Masters.

Singh, who is now 52, triumphed in the 2000 Masters.

While Aaron no longer plays in the tournament, the Georgia native returns each year and partakes in the Champions Dinner and hangs out with friends and family.

Singh is now eligible for the Champions Tour but regularly plays on the PGA Tour. And he’s not out there just for show; on Thursday, he shot 5-under-par 66 to take the early lead at Riviera.

Happy birthday, gentlemen.
