The Masters Tournament, also known as The Masters or the U.S. Masters, is one of the four major professional golf championships in the world. It is held annually in early April at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, USA.

The tournament was established in 1934 and is invitation-only, meaning that players must be invited to participate, although there are also criteria for qualification. The field typically includes the top golfers in the world, as well as past champions and amateur players.

The Masters is known for its unique traditions, including the green jacket awarded to the winner, the Par-3 Contest held the day before the tournament, and the Champions Dinner, where past winners gather to share a meal and stories.

The Augusta National Golf Club is famous for its beautiful and challenging course, which features undulating fairways, lightning-fast greens, and strategically placed hazards. Amen Corner, a series of three holes (11, 12, and 13), is particularly famous for its difficulty and scenic beauty.

The tournament has been won by many of the greatest golfers of all time, including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, and Phil Mickelson. The winner receives not only the green jacket but also a significant cash prize and a lifetime invitation to compete in the Masters.

Overall, the Masters is widely considered one of the most prestigious and iconic events in all of sports.
