Each April, the hallowed grounds of Augusta National Golf Club host the Masters, arguably the most prestigious of the four majors of men's professional golf. The Masters heralds the arrival of spring, with its famous blooming azaleas, pristine greens, and warm Georgia weather. Famed amateur golfer Bobby Jones helped create and design Augusta National, and the first Masters was held there in 1934. The event was cancelled from 1943-1945 because of World War II but has been held every year since 1946.
The best men's golfers in the world vie for the right to put on the green jacket, awarded to the winner of the tournament. As of 2025, Jack Nicklaus has the most Masters wins with six. Tiger Woods is second with five titles. The course itself is famous for its challenges, including the stretch of holes 11-13, known as "Amen Corner," and its fast and hard greens. The main part of the tournament takes place Thursday through Sunday of Masters week. The first three days of the event consist of practice rounds and a par-3 game.
