The Masters Par 3 Contest is a nine-hole exhibition played every Wednesday of Masters week on Augusta National's Par 3 Course. First held in 1960, the event is famous for its relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere and for one of golf's most enduring superstitions: no player has ever won the Par 3 Contest and the Masters Tournament in the same year.

The Par 3 Course features nine short holes ranging from 70 to 140 yards, winding through the pines and flowering shrubs near Ike's Pond. Players invite their wives, children, and grandchildren to caddie, turning the competition into a celebration rather than a pressure-packed warm-up.
