2025 Masters Tournament – men’s golf major

The Masters Tournament, the first of the four annual men’s golf majors, will be held at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia from 10-13 April 2025. The 2025 tournament will mark the 89th playing of the Masters, with Scottie Scheffler returning as the defending champion.

Established in 1934 by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, the Masters is celebrated for its rich history, pristine course, and exclusive traditions. The event is renowned for its unique customs that set it apart from other tournaments. The iconic Green Jacket, awarded to the winner, symbolises membership to the Augusta National Golf Club and is one of the most coveted prizes in sports. Another cherished tradition is the Champions Dinner, where past winners gather to celebrate the tournament’s legacy. 

The event is also steeped in pageantry, with ceremonial opening tee shots from golf legends and the iconic par-3 contest, which precedes the main competition. Patrons (as spectators are called) experience an unparalleled atmosphere, enhanced by Augusta’s strict policies on branding and advertising, which preserve the event’s timeless charm. 

Augusta National Golf Club, designed by Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones, is famed for its immaculate landscaping and challenging design. Signature holes like “Amen Corner” (holes 11, 12, and 13) test players’ precision and nerves. Each spring, the azaleas and dogwoods in full bloom create a picturesque backdrop, enhancing the tournament’s prestige. 

The Masters has produced legendary moments, from Tiger Woods’ historic 1997 victory to Jack Nicklaus’ iconic win in 1986. It continues to captivate audiences worldwide, symbolizing excellence and tradition in golf. For players and fans alike, the Masters is more than a tournament – it’s a celebration of the sport’s enduring legacy.
