WELCOME TO THE
MAS T E R S E X PER I ENCE
Every second week of April, Augusta National opens its gates for The Masters, arguably the
most exclusive and eagerly anticipated golfing event of the year.
Since its founder Bobby Jones held the very first Augusta National Invitational Tournament in
1934, The Masters has had a special place in the hearts of all golf fans and enthusiasts alike.
The springtime splendour of Augusta National never disappoints and probably never will. With
such iconic moments in golfing history as Nicklaus’s charge in 1986, Faldo’s comeback in 1996
and Tiger’s chip-in in 2005, Augusta has an atmosphere and aura like no other place on earth.
We think it’s only fitting that you get to sample that for yourself.

A GOLF TOURNAMENT LIKE NO OTHER
ST EEP E D I N T R AD I T I O N
Augusta National Golf Club was founded by Bobby Jones, the legendary amateur champion,
and Clifford Roberts, an astute investment banker in New York. The 365-acre property,
originally Fruitland Nurseries, was purchased in 1931 for $70,000. Jones helped design the
golf course, working alongside the esteemed British architect Dr. Alister Mackenzie. Jones’s
popularity within the game helped attract golf’s biggest stars to the Masters, beginning with
the inaugural event in 1934.
Since then, some of golf’s most memorable moments – both comebacks and collapses
– have taken place on the lush course. The Masters Tournament has been held the first
full week of April every year since its inception, except for 1943-1945. During this time, the
tournament was cancelled due to World War II and the course was used to raise cattle and
turkeys to help the war effort. Augusta National is closed all summer, from the third week of
May until mid-October, primarily for renovations. Although a single performance at the Masters
can define a player’s career, the game’s greatest players have won multiple titles, including
Jack Nicklaus (6), Arnold Palmer (4), Tiger Woods (4) and Sam Snead (3).

Nothing quite prepares you for your first moments at the Augusta National.
Yes you might be prepared for the beauty, to witness the golfing test and
see the world’s best players ply their trade but the scale and undulations of
the place are unimaginable until you actually arrive on the property.
Television can never quite capture the flow of the course, the rapid descent
of the tenth and eleventh holes to the sunken golfing paradise that is Amen
Corner and the draining climb back up to the eighteenth green. The place
is unique. No one runs - top speed for all is a brisk walk. Spectators create
their own grandstands by placing their portable seats at a vantage point of
their choice and no one is allowed to carry a mobile phone.
Spectator views are the most unfettered in the professional game because
players, their caddies and a few rules officials are the only people allowed
inside the ropes.
It feels busy, especially in the merchandise area which is the only place on
the planet official Masters products can be bought, but it retains a quaint
feel in keeping with Georgia’s southern charm.
And, although it is undoubtedly golf’s most glamorous major, the on course
sustenance including Augusta’s famous Pimento cheese sandwiches are
probably the most reasonably priced refreshments in world sport.
