Who founded Augusta National? The details about the iconic Masters venue explored

The Augusta National Golf Club stands as one of the most iconic and prestigious golf clubs in the world. Founded by Clifford Roberts and amateurs Bobby Jones, the ANGC was opened in 1932. While Alister MacKenzie is known as the architect of the historic venue, Roberts, Jones, and World Golf Hall of Famer Marion Hollin also played a role in its design.

The ANGC has been hosting the Masters tournament since 1934 and is a for-profit golf course, unlike other golf clubs. It falls under the ownership of Augusta National Inc., which also owns the Masters tournament.

Unlike the other three major championships, which take place in different venues each year, the Masters is the only major played at the same venue annually. Over its history, ANGC has witnessed seven chairmen, with Clifford Roberts being the first to assume the office. Fred Ridley, who took the position in 2017, is currently serving as the club's chairman.
