The Masters Tournament is an annual golf championship at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, played during the first full week of April as the opening men’s major of the season. Unlike the other majors, it is always held on the same course and uses a smaller invitational field. Created after Bobby Jones, Clifford Roberts, and Alister MacKenzie established Augusta National, the tournament began in 1934 as the Augusta National Invitation Tournament and took its current name in 1939. Its history blends famous moments, evolving traditions, and notable champions, while its enduring identity rests on continuity, ritual, and the championship’s long association with Augusta National.
