The first round of the 2025 Masters doesn’t get underway until Thursday, but a number of golf stars will take to the course a day early to take part in one of the event’s most storied traditions. The Masters Par 3 Contest will take place Wednesday, and promises to be a fun warmup ahead of the first round.
Ninety-one players — including current golfers and past champions — will take on Augusta’s Par 3 course in a one-round competition Wednesday. Masters Tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler will be among that group, as will other standouts like Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Gary Player and Tom Watson.

Here’s what you need to know about the Masters Par 3 Contest before all the action gets underway.
What is the Masters Par 3 Contest?
The Masters Par 3 Contest is a tradition at Augusta National. A day before the first round of the Masters, golfers play a one-round competition on Augusta’s Par 3 course. It’s more of a relaxed atmosphere, as golfers often involve their children in the festivities.
Augusta’s Par 3 course spans nine holes. The Par 3 Contest began in 1960 and has grown more popular since its inception. The course underwent a significant renovation ahead of the 2023 Masters Par 3 Contest.
How to watch the Masters Par 3 Contest?
The Masters Par 3 Contest will air on ESPN on Wednesday. Masters coverage begins at 12 p.m. ET. The network will broadcast the Par 3 Contest starting at 2 p.m. ET. It will run until 4 p.m ET.

The Masters app, Masters.com and ESPN+ will provide early streaming coverage.
Is there a Masters Par 3 Contest prize?
There’s no money associated with winning the Masters Par 3 Contest. Golfers receive a trophy for taking home the top prize at the event.
While that sounds harmless, there’s a reason golfers should avoid winning the Par 3 Contest. Some believe there’s a Masters Par 3 Contest curse. No golfer who has won the Par 3 Contest has gone on to win the Masters that same year.

Soukalová smeká před Charvátovou: Také jsem zažila lavinu kritiky, ukázala velkou sílu

Problém je v tom, že kdybych měla vybrat sport, který mi fakt nejde, tak je to florbal. Možná mi chyběl postřeh, ale když jsem ho hrála na škole, přišel mi strašně rychlý a já míček vůbec nestíhala.
