In the event, currant past Masters champions are invited back to play a nine-hole, Par 3 course as a precursor to the main event on Thursday. Holes generally range from 70-140 yards, with the winner taking home a crystal bowl for the lowest score.
Players will regularly allow children or family members to hit celebrity shots. Like back in 2018, when the “Golden Bear “Jack Nicklaus let his grandson, G.T., hit a tee shot on the ninth; which he aced.
