A family-friendly, light-hearted appetizer for the Masters main course, the annual Par 3 Contest provides some of the most charming moments of the entire week at Augusta National Golf Club.
The nine-hole exhibition brings the 2024 Masters entrants together with past Masters champions for some fun and frivolity before the competition gets serious the following day. Significant others and children are invited to tag along as caddies during the round, even wearing the traditional all-white uniforms, in an event that dates back to 1960.
Adding to the cute factor, you may even see some of the caddies attempt a putt or two.
