Masters Par 3
Definition
The Masters Par 3 Contest is an annual invitational golf event held the day before the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA, featuring a nine-hole par-3 course played by competitors and often their family members as caddies.
Renowned for its lighthearted, family-oriented atmosphere, the contest has a unique tradition: no winner of the Par 3 Contest has ever gone on to win the Masters Tournament the following days.
