History and tradition surround The Masters most notably with the golf course – Augusta National. Set in Georgia, Augusta is a private and exclusive golf club known for its traditions and beauty. Each hole is named after a flower, holes 11-13 are known as Amen Corner, The Hogan Bridge crossing over Rae’s Creek, the once famous Eisenhower Tree and of course Butler Cabin where every 1st Sunday in April the Green Jacket presentation goes to the winner of the Masters presented by the previous year’s winner.

Tradition is a huge part of the Masters but the golf is the focus and even for players that have come back time and time again, you can never underestimate the bite that Augusta can put on a golfer if you hit the wrong shot.
