  About the Masters

  The Masters is strictly an invitation Tournament. The qualification regulations are the principal means of determining the player invitation list. The player field being small, many Tournament formalities and regulations are eliminated. The first consideration is to provide a first class golf course in as beautiful and nearly perfect condition as effort can make it; and, secondly, to show our player guests every possible courtesy. The chief objective of the Masters is to stage a golf show that is enjoyable to all – our members, patrons and player guests, and to interested golfers generally. We would also like, if we can, to contribute something to the advancement of the game.

  Masters Tournament 

  Thursday Apr 7 - Sunday Apr 10, 2016

  news

  Tougher course expected

  

  Jason Day doesn't think someone will have to shoot a tournament-record tying 270 or make a record 28 birdies like Jordan Spieth did last year to win this year's Masters Tournament.

  Anchoring ban no problem

  

  Both Masters champions have victories in 2016 despite the ban that went into effect at the start of the year.

  Lesser-knowns add to magic

  

  The faces that make the Masters Tournament famous are usually so familiar that we know them on a first-name basis - Arnie, Jack, Gary, Seve, Tiger, Phil, Bubba. These legends are what made the Masters great. But it's the stories of players you might not be able to pick out of a PGA Tour lineup that make the Masters special.

  Olympic men's golf champion will get one-year invite to 2017 Masters

  

  Starting with this year's Summer Olympics, the winner of the men's golf gold medal will earn a spot in the 2017 Masters Tournament field.

  Woods inspired new stars

  

  At this weeks Masters, 33 players will be 29 or younger. The best of them - No. 1 Jason Day, No. 2 Jordan Spieth, No. 3 Rory McIlroy and No. 5 Rickie Fowler - don't hesitate to say that it was Tiger Woods and his reign of dominance that inspired their careers.

  Herman in whirlwind

  

  Jim Herman planned to spend Monday morning in the car, dropping his daughter off at school. But then he took the greatest detour of his professional life.

  Kisner, Mize work together

  

  The Aiken native played a practice round Monday with 1987 winner Larry Mize, an Augusta native.

  Best seats in the house

  

  To maximize your viewing opportunities, check out these places at Augusta National Golf Club if you are attending today's practice round.

  Natural beauty the star

  

  Spring came early in Rich­mond County, but that didn't take the bloom off the foliage at Au­gusta National Golf Club.

  Gnome a top seller

  

  Tim Thornton turned to his wife, Sheila, and said five words: We have to get one.

  Watson joins Player, Nicklaus

  

  Last year, Ben Crenshaw teamed with Nicklaus and Player in the annual event, replacing Arnold Palmer who typically played with the other former Masters champion.

  Game shaping up for Zach

  

  Johnson has four top-10s in his past 10 starts and 2015 was the second season in his past three that he had two top-10s in majors in the same season.

  McIlroy's ace draws roars

  

  McIlroy said the ace gives him momentum going into Tuesday's practice round, and hopefully beyond.

  Player a trailblazer in 1961

  

  In the tournament's early years, it wasn't cheap or simple to get to Augusta. That began to change when the tournament resumed after World War II. and Gary Player's win in 1961 served as an inspiration.

  Knox achieves Masters dream

  

  Russell Knox played his first round at Augusta National with his father a week before playing in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
