About The 2021 Masters Tournament

The Masters Tournament is one of the four major championships in professional golf. It is always held in the first week of April, and it is also held at the same venue always, at the Augusta National Golf Club, a private course in Augusta, Georgia. The 2021 edition marks the 85th overall edition of the tournament.

History

The Augusta National Golf Club was established by the legendary amateur champion, Bobby Jones, along with Clifford Roberts, an investment banker from New York. They hosted the first edition of the tournament in 1934, and Horton Smith won the inaugural edition.

The tournament was called the Augusta National Invitation Tournament until 1939 when it was then changed to the Masters Tournament. Although the first edition was held in late March, the tournament was scheduled to be held in the first week of April from 1940 onwards.

Format

The Masters tournament consists of four rounds at 18 holes each, which is similar to the other three Majors. But unlike the other golf tournaments, it has a smaller field, which features around 90-100 players. This year the total number of players will be 88.

The Masters is also unique because it is the only major which is hosted by a private club instead of a golf organization like the PGA Tour.

Masters Tournament Logo

The logo is a map of the United States with a flag-stick. It is an abstract version of the map, and it isn't the most perfect shape. But the recent version has been slightly modified.

The logo hasn't ever been changed because the Augusta National golf club wants to maintain its 80+ year tradition.

Course

Founder Bobby Jones hired physician turned golf architect, Alister MacKenzie, to design the course back in the early 1930s. Each hole on the course is named after a tree or shrub that adorns it. Legendary golfers Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, and Gene Sarazen each have a bridge at the course named in honor of them. The 2021 edition will have a total of 7,475 yards and 72 pars.
