The Masters Tournament is a major golf event, alongside the other three: the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and the Open Championship. In chronological order, the Masters is the first tournament to be held in a season, is usually scheduled for the first week of April and is held at the Augusta National Golf Club, Georgia, USA.


The Masters Tournament was started by investment banker Clifford Roberts and amateur golf champion Bobby Jones. Following his historic victory in 1930, Jones bought a plant nursery and collaborated with course architect Alister MacKenzie to turn it into the Augusta National.


The PGA, European, and Japanese golf tours all recognize the Masters, which was first played in 1934, as an official money event. The player field is smaller than that of the other major championships because it is an invitation-only event.


The Augusta National Course was first inaugurated in 1933, and many architects have made numerous changes since then, including reshaping and sometimes complete redesigns; the addition of bunkers; the extension of water hazards; the construction of new tee boxes; the planting of hundreds of trees; and the installation of multiple mounds.


Who won the PGA Masters Par 3 event in 2024?

Rickie Fowler went on to win the 2024 Par 3 Contest after leading the most of the day. Fowler shot 5-under throughout the day to record his first "win" at Augusta, accompanied by his daughter Maya.


Fowler, one of the most accomplished players in the game without a major, teamed up with Jordan Spieth and Fred Couples in his victory round.


At the main event, Fowler tied for 30th place with Jason Day, Si Woo Kim, J.T. Poston and Tom Kim. Letting the curse of the Par-3 events go on, their winners, never won the Masters event.


Who won the PGA Masters Tournament in 2024?

In three years, Scottie Scheffler has won the Masters twice, in 2022 and 2024. He did it by shooting an incredible four-under 68 to finish 11 under and overcome three opponents on the back nine. The prize money for his outstanding win is $3.6 million, the highest in The Masters' history.


After winning the Players Championship and the Arnold Palmer Invitational in the 2024 season, Scheffler now has three victories in his last four starts.


On the eighth hole, the 27-year-old Scheffler was tied with Aberg, Homa, and Morikawa. However, he answered with three consecutive birdies. Making his Masters debut, Ludvig Aberg finished second at seven under. Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa, and Max Homa shared third place at four under.


Who won the PGA Masters Tournament in 2023?

Jon Rahm won the 2023 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Rahm took home the $3,240,000 winner's cut of the $18,000,000 purse.


The Spaniard began the final round two strokes behind 54-hole leader Brooks Koepka. Nevertheless, Koepka faded and Rahm found the gears swiftly. Rahm won by four shots over two golfers after shooting 3-under 69 in the final round to finish at 12-under 276.


Koepka was tied for second with Phil Mickelson, who tied his career-best Masters performance with a closing 65 in Round 4 while playing with Jordan Spieth. Together, Mickelson and Spieth shot 14-under-58 for the best-ball score. Spieth, Patrick Reed, and Russell Henley were all tied for fourth place at the conclusion.
