The Masters Tournament is famous for all the great golf and great things that have happened over the years on the second nine in the final round.

The last 5 years has seen great excitment at The Masters. In 2003, Mike Weir and Len Mattiace added another chapter to the lore final day and they went a little bit further, to a sudden-death extra hole, before Weir became the first left-hander and the first Canadian to win the coveted Green Jacket at Augusta National Golf Club. In 2004, Phil Mickelson finally showed the world that he could too win a major, and took home his first green jacket. Tiger won his 4th Masters in 2005, beating Chris Dimarco in sudden death after both finished regulation tied at 12 under par. And then in 2006 Phil played with great skill to win his 2nd green jacket.

History of the Masters

Looking to provide a service to golf by hosting a tournament, Bob Jones and Clifford Roberts decided to hold an annual event beginning in 1934. Roberts proposed the event be called the Masters Tournament, but Bob Jones objected thinking it too presumptuous. The name Augusta National Invitation Tournament was adopted and the title was used for five years until 1939 when Jones relented and the name was officially changed.

Many decisions made in the early days of the Tournament remain today. Among these are the four-day stroke playing of 18 holes each day instead of the then customary 36 holes on the third day, eliminating qualifying rounds, and denying permission for anyone except the player and caddie to be in the playing area.

The first Tournament was held March 22, 1934, and beginning in 1940, the Masters was scheduled each year during the first full week in April. That first Tournament was won by Horton Smith, and in the Fall of 1934 the nines were reversed. In 1935 Gene Sarazen hit "the shot heard 'round the world" scoring a double eagle on the par 5 15th hole, tying Craig Wood and forcing a playoff. Sarazen won the 36-hole playoff the following day by five strokes. In 1942 Byron Nelson defeated Ben Hogan 69-70 in an 18-hole playoff and the Tournament was not played the following three years, 1943, 1944 and 1945, during the war. To assist the war effort, cattle and turkeys were raised on the Augusta National grounds.

In 1960 the Par 3 Contest was begun, and in 1965-1966 Jack Nicklaus became the first Masters champion to defend his title successfully. During the decade of the 1970’s the two founders of the Masters Tournament passed away. Both Jones and Roberts left indelible impressions on the Masters and on the world of golf.
