One of professional golf's four major championships is The Masters Tournament, also known as The Masters or the U.S. Masters outside of North America. The Masters, the first major of the year, is set for the first full week of April, and unlike the others, it is always played at the same venue: the exclusive Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, in the southeastern United States.


The 88th Masters competition is scheduled to take place at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, United States, from April 8–14, 2024. Practice rounds will take place throughout the first two days of the tournament. On April 10, there will be the well-known par-3 event, which is also known as the "cursed event" because the winner of this event never advances to the Masters. It could be a superstition, but no one has won both in the previous 89 years.


Jon Rahm won his first Masters tournament in 2023, his second major victory, and his 20th professional triumph overall. Weather caused the third round to be postponed, and Rahm overcame a two-shot deficit to win the 54-hole event. His 276, under 12, gave him a four-stroke victory over Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka.


2024 The Masters Leaderboard Rules

The Masters is "a tradition unlike any other," according to Jim Nantz. It is difficult to disagree with the CBS anchor because the season's first major stands alone when compared to other tournaments.


The Masters has a relatively small field compared to the Open Championship, the PGA Championship, and the U.S. Open and does not typically split the field to start on the first and 10th tees in the first two rounds. It should come as no surprise that the Masters also has a different cut rule than the other three majors and only permits players from the four major tournaments to play the final 36 holes.


The official Rules of Golf, as published by the United States Golf Association, will be followed during the 2023 Masters Tournament. It is a typical 72-hole stroke-play competition. Sudden-death playoffs are used to resolve first-place ties.


How Many Rounds will be played in 2024 Masters Tournament ?

The Masters Tournament is an annual golf tournament held in Augusta, Georgia, in the US. The competition will take place from April 8 to April 14, 2024. There will be four rounds and 72 holes in the competition.


The Masters Tournament is only open to those who have received an invitation. Invitations are given based on a number of factors, such as past winners, recent major champions, top finishers in the majors the year prior, top players on the PGA Tour the year before, winners of full-point tournaments on the PGA Tour the year before, and top players in the Official World Golf Ranking.


What is PAR in 2024 The Masters Leaderboard?

The Masters Tournament's course will have a par of 72. In the context of the Masters and all of golf, "par" refers to the number of strokes necessary to complete a hole or a round of several holes. The leaderboard shows each golfer's score in relation to the number of strokes needed to achieve par.


For instance, if a golfer completes a hole in one less stroke than the fixed par, their score for that hole is one under par. If a golfer completes a hole in one more stroke than necessary, their score for that hole is one over par, also known as a bogey.

The 7,555-yard course at Augusta was formerly a plant nursery, and each of its 18 holes is named for a tree or shrub that has come to be associated with it.


How to calculate 2023 The Masters Leaderboard points?

The winner of the Masters Tournament is chosen based on a points system. The FedEx Cup is awarded at the conclusion of the season, and the tournament winner will receive 600 FedEx Cup points. The number of strokes a player needs to finish the competition determines how many points they receive. At the conclusion of the competition, the player with the fewest strokes wins.


Golfers accumulate points during the course of the year as they compete for the FedEx Cup. At the conclusion of the FedEx Cup series schedule, the top scorers advance to the FedEx Cup Playoffs and receive bonus rewards from a sizable cash pot. Golfers receive points each week for placing in PGA Tour competitions, and those points add up.


The top 125 scorers advance to the "playoffs" at the conclusion of the "regular season." The winner of the World Golf Championship and other "designated" events receives 550 FedEx Cup points, while the winner of the four major tournaments and the Players receives 600 points. The winner of any event played the same week as a major or "designated" event receives 300 points.
