Played over the same course each year and packed with tradition and character, The Masters is, perhaps, the most iconic tournament in world golf. Since it was first held in 1934, it’s been won by many of the greats of the game.
Augusta National Golf Club was co-founded by the great amateur Bobby Jones, together with a Wall Street banker named Clifford Roberts. Jones had the vision to turn 365-acres of an old indigo plantation into, what would become, the world’s most famous golf course, working alongside British course architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie.
It was Jones’ fame as a golfer that facilitated the early invitational tournaments at Augusta. When he sent out invites to America’s best players; they responded. The first of these competitions, held in 1934, was called the Augusta National Invitation Tournament. It was not until 1939 the events were referred to as “The Masters.”

For many golfers, The Masters heralds the start of a new playing season. TV pictures of lush green fairways, blooming azaleas, blue skies and towering pines spur keen amateurs up and down the country to retrieve their clubs from under the stairs and head back for the fairways.
