The Masters Tournament is held every year at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. It is one of the four major championships in professional golf. Source: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/news/sports/golf/the-masters-augusta-green-jacket/?os=www.youtube.comdFwatchFvDep9IYJ93QII&ref=app
The tournament began in 1934. It was founded by amateur champion Bobby Jones and investment banker Clifford Roberts, who built Augusta National with course architect Alister MacKenzie. Unlike the other majors, the Masters is always played at the same course.
Its traditions are famous. The winner receives a green jacket, a custom that began with club members in 1937 and was extended to champions starting with Sam Snead in 1949. Past champions gather for the Champions Dinner on the Tuesday before the tournament each year.
Jack Nicklaus holds the record with six Masters victories between 1963 and 1986. Tiger Woods has won five times, from 1997 to 2019. Arnold Palmer won four times between 1958 and 1964. Other notable champions include Gary Player of South Africa, the first international winner in 1961, and Seve Ballesteros of Spain, who won in 1980 and 1983.
The Masters is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour, which is why it draws the world’s top players each April.
