It's almost time for the 2024 Masters Tournament. And that means it's also almost time for the Masters Par 3 Contest, an exhibition event held every year on the day before the opening round of the Masters.
Before the Masters Tournament gets underway Thursday, the Par 3 Contest will take place at Augusta National Golf Club on Wednesday. The event is a nine-hole, par-27 single round that features only holes ranging from 70-140 yards.
No golfer has won the Par 3 Contest and the Masters Tournament in the same year. But the former is also more about fun than finishing in first, as family members often get to serve as the caddies for the exhibition event.
