The Masters

Augusta National and the Masters Tournament are Bobby Jones’ second enduring legacy to golf. The course and club were founded in 1931, after Jones retired from competitive golf. The tournament originally was called the Augusta National Invitation Tournament, because Jones didn’t like the sound of “The Masters.” However, the name changed in 1939. Horton Smith won the first Masters, but it was Gene Sarazen in the second who put the tournament on the map with his double eagle on the 15th — the “shot heard round the world.” Watch this section for articles and updates on The Masters, including scores, leaderboards, and results
