The Masters Tournament is also known as The Masters. I call it Augusta Masters 2011. The Master is one of the four major championships in professional golf. The Masters Tournament is usually set for the first full week of April. The Masters is held at the same club called Augusta National Golf Club each year.
Augusta National Golf Club is a private golf club in the city of Augusta, Georgia. The Masters was started by Clifford Roberts and Course designer Bobby Jones(the golf great). Masters an official money event on the PGA Tour, the PGA European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour. The Tournament is an invitational only event. The members of the Augusta National Golf Club controls who is allow to play.
The Masters tournament was started in 1933. The one tradition at the tournament is the winner gets a green jacket. The green jacket tradition started in 1949 and must return the tournament clubhouse next year.
This is one of the few tournaments that is totally controlled by the golf club it is played at. Thank goodness somethings do not change.
