The tradition of the Masters Par 3 Contest is back for the 63rd edition of the event, creating a family-friendly atmosphere ahead of the 2025 Masters tournament first round.
The Par 3 Contest may be a competition, but it's a fun-filled and lighthearted affair. It unfolds on a nine-hole, par-27 course designed by George Cobb and Cliff Roberts, nestled around DeSoto Springs Pond and Ike's Pond. The event brings together tournament participants and past winners for a single round of play, all in the spirit of enjoyment. Participants often invite their families, who add to the festive atmosphere by donning Augusta National jumpsuits.

The event also has its own superstition: the winner of the Par 3 contest has never gone on to win the Masters in the same year. As a result, some participants choose not to risk this and allow their family members, who are serving as caddies, the opportunity to chip or putt on their behalf.
