When does the 2024 Masters Tournament start?
The Masters will be held from April 11 to 14 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
Jake Knapp and South African golfer Erik van Rooyen will be the first players to tee off at 10:30 a.m. ET.
Ohio State golfer Neal Shipley, competing as an amateur in the Masters, starts his round at 2:00 p.m. Tiger Woods is scheduled to tee off at 3:54 p.m.
April 8 to 10 were pre-tournament days, which include practice rounds for the players and the par 3 contest held the day before the Masters begins.
Who won the par 3 contest at the Masters?
The annual par 3 contest eases players and fans into Masters weekend.
Rickie Fowler won the 2024 par 3 contest. The six-time PGA Tour event winner finished with a score of 5 under par on the nine-hole competition to add a trophy to his collection.
Fowler won the par 3 contest, but that's not great news for his chances during Masters weekend. Famously, no winner of the Par 3 Contest has ever won the Masters the same year, according to the tournament website.
