With the best players in the world descending on the immaculate grounds of the Augusta National Golf Club, “A Tradition Unlike Any Other” arrives once again for the 86th edition of The Masters. Played at one of the most private golf clubs anywhere, Augusta National is also the most recognizable golf course in the world. Built at the height of the Great Depression on one of the Southeast’s most popular plant nurseries, each hole on the course is named after the tree or flower it has become associated with.

Whether it’s driving down “Magnolia Lane” or surviving “Amen Corner”, the brilliant “azaleas and dogwoods” or wearing the “Green Jacket”, so many words and phrases have become legendary over the years thanks to the tradition of this hallowed ground. Whether in person or watching from afar, the sensory overload and the absolute beauty of the course are something to behold.

Featuring generous fairways, demanding approach shots, and severely sloped and ultra-fast green complexes, Augusta National is a course that will test every club in the bag—and each player’s fortitude along with it.

The Masters is the only major golf event played at the same course every year. Players competing here receive their opportunity by invitation only, and thus the field is usually only around 90 total golfers with the cut on Friday being determined by the top 50 and ties making it through to the weekend.

The greatest legends in the history of the sport have graced these grounds over the years. Jack Nicklaus has won the most Masters events with six. Tiger Woods has won five green jackets while Arnold Palmer has been champion four times. That brings us to the seemingly biggest question on everyone’s mind. Will Tiger Woods tee off on Thursday morning? Whether he does or not, the field here is among the strongest ever assembled. Every single player ranked in the current top 50 in the world will be here with the exception of Harris English and Phil Mickelson.
