The
Masters has grown to become the most prestigious tournament in all of Golf.
On March 22, 1934 Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts decided to hold an annual
golf tournament in honour of golf's greatest players. Early on it was called
the The Augusta National Invitation Tournament. It wasn't until 1939 that
the event became known as The Masters. The Masters paved the way for modern
golf tournaments. They instituted many rules that are still in use today.
The tournament would be held over 4 days rather than three. They eliminated
qualifying rounds, and only limited access to the playing area for players
and caddies only. Since 1940 the Masters has always been held the first week
of April at the Augusta National Golf Club. For more Masters History, see
