One of the best traditions at the Masters is the Par 3 Contest.
For just a few hours, the stress of a major championship melts away and families gather around the par-3 course at Augusta National to enjoy Wednesday afternoon together.
For the first time, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth will be playing in the event as dads.
The contest hasn’t been held since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but returns this year not only to the delight of the players, but the patrons.
Jack Nicklaus, the six-time Masters champion, announced he will no longer be playing.
Here are some of the best photos from the fun-filled afternoon at Augusta National’s short course.
