About The Masters
The Masters Tournament is one of the four major championships in professional golf, held annually at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. Known for its iconic green jacket, it is one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world.
History & Origins of The Masters
The Masters Tournament, held annually at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, is the first of the four major golf championships each year. It was co-founded by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts and first played in 1934 as the "Augusta National Invitation Tournament." The name was changed to "The Masters" in 1939. Augusta National is known for its stunning azaleas, pristine fairways, and strict traditions.
