Ken Griffey Jr. Captures the 2025 Masters as Event Photographer

Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. is taking a unique swing at his post-playing career by joining the accredited media as a photographer at the 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National. Eschewing the typical VIP treatment, Griffey has been seen behind the lens, capturing candid moments during golf’s premier event. His presence at Augusta National marks another chapter in his storied life in sports, following a celebrated 22-year MLB career with the Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds.

Since retiring in 2010, Griffey has gradually built a reputation in sports photography. According to reports—including a Reuters article published on April 10, 2025—he has also photographed NFL games and MLS matchups involving Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami. His evolving role behind the camera highlights a continued passion for sports and a willingness to explore new challenges well beyond the baseball diamond.
