The beloved tradition of the Masters Par 3 contest has returned to the 63rd edition.
Back in 1960, when Sam Snead won the first contest, the par-3 contest is a lighthearted competition in which the competitors and past Masters champions are invited to play on a shortened nine-hole course. Often, golfers choose relatives, celebrities, spouses and children as caddies.
Competition is easy, but competitors are still playing to win.
The history of the competition included 112 halls. In 2024 there were five halls: Luchrist, Gary Woodland, Cepstraka, Lucas Glover and Victor Hofland.
Superstitions can cause you to try to beat a contestant who is hoping to become a candidate for masters. The winner of the par-3 contest in the same year never won the Masters.
Here are some of the best moments from this year’s par-3 contest:

Raising children can be difficult. You can also golf. Are you trying to do both at the same time? No more than that.
