The Masters guide, Augusta National, The Masters golf tournament

Sports Channel / Bullz-Eye Home

The Masters is one of the most important and beloved golf tournaments in the world. Most players would admit that winning the Green Jacket is the highest achievement in golf.

There are many reasons to love this tournament, and it all starts with the amazing golf course (click here for a bird’s eye view). Augusta National has a certain mystique about it, as even the richest and most prominent businessmen in the country can’t get on this course without a membership. Getting one of those memberships is even harder, and lately this has generated some controversy as women’s groups have ripped the club and its members for not having a female member.

The tournament is also the first major of the year and arrives at the beginning of spring, along with baseball and the Final Four. It’s a great time for sports, and The Masters is the ultimate showcase for professional golf.
