I. The Masters [ edit ]

The Masters Championship is held April 8-12 at Augusta National Golf Club, Georgia,[14] on the public Augusta National Golf Course. It also has been classified as a commercial event since it began in 1937[15]. Since that time, players from sixty-three countries have competed for the coveted Masters Cup and over US$1 million worth of equipment valued by companies like Nike. In 2019, Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major championships broke with his fourth Players Championship victory.[16]

From 1897 to 1967, the course was operated by a board appointed by Cootes (a former caddie who had played in many of the previous 19 tournaments) consisting of Maurice Duke, John Petite, J.B. Petit and Dr. J.C. Redford.[citation needed] After World War II the course changed hands again four times before becoming established as golf's championship event once more.[17][18] As of 2014 each official winner of the tournament receives up to US$2.5 million while their charitable foundation may receive between $400,000 – 750,000 depending on winning total fund balance. For past champions’ organizations such as Florida Junior Golf Association, West Virginia-based Ruth Jones Memorial Foundation & Woman's Clinic Foundation, an invitation to join, or tryout tour, is also regularly part of the package.[19][20][21] Three celebrities—Shirley Johnston, Paul Ladd Jr., and Jim McKay Jr.—won for first time after winning six times previously.

Until 2018, officials were allowed one practice round per player inside 72 hours prior to their tee shots which normally happened, in addition, they could golf up to 10 holes pre-scheduled at any time during daylight hours which would normally happen regarding 7 am until sunset. This restriction has now essentially switched around to two play opportunities just about 12 hrs prior to actual start of tournament, but still allowing individual pre scheduled rounds for groups of 2 or 3 (with a maximum of 15 players allowed per cart).[22] Rules and regulations announced for 2020 include giving ball partners tee and fairway advantages off the tee on the opening 18th hole.
