Golf Tournament is commonly known as 'The Masters'. It is also known as the 'US Masters' outside the USA. It is one of the largest championships of golf.

Unlike the other championship, this tournament is always organized at the same place in US. It is played at Augusta National Golf Club, which is a private golf club. This tournament was initiated by Clifford Robert and Bobby Jones.

The Masters is considered as official money event on PGA Tour. If somebody wins this tournament, he gets a lot of privileges. His career can become secure. People receive money as well as membership on PGA tour.

As per the typical golf tournament formatting, the Masters Tournament is a 72-hole tournament. It is organized for more than four days.

It is organized under the rules of golf. These rules are defined by the United States Golf Association. Masters Tournament Committee defines some special rules as well.

As this tournament has a comparatively smaller field to other golf tournaments, groups are set of 3 players.

Each set is decided for the first 36 holes.
Once 36 holes have been played, a cut is made.

Participants who 'make the cut' are in one or both of these classifications:
(1) Minimum 44 scores plus ties
(2) Within 10 strokes of the minimum 36-hole score. It is set by the leader.

Tickets for the Masters are not expensive. However, they are extremely hard to get. Even the practice rounds can be hard to be watched.

Applications for these practice round tickets have to be made almost a year in advance. Successful candidates are chosen by random vote.
