Smiles, laughs, fist-pumps and adorable, putter-wielding toddlers: It’s all in a day’s viewing of the Masters Par 3 Contest, a beloved Augusta National tradition that began in 1960.
On Wednesday, Masters participants and non-competing former champions took to Augusta National’s Par 3 Course for a stroll around the 1,055-yard track, which features holes that play between 70 and 155 yards.
The players’ usual bagmen were temporarily replaced by wives, girlfriends, children, grandchildren and other relatives, all of whom wore the club’s traditional caddie jumpsuits.
It was a joyous affair, with multiple hole-in-ones, hugs, high-fives and memories made. Check out TK photos of some of the 2024 Par 3 Contest’s sweetest scenes below.
