Format
The Masters Tournament spans four days, from Thursday to Sunday, with 72 holes of stroke play. During the early-week practice days, players participate in practice rounds and the traditional par-3 game. All players compete in rounds 1 and 2 of the Masters Tournament. Following 36 holes, only the top 50 players and ties advance to the weekend. In the final rounds 3 and 4, the balanced players battled for the green jacket.
In the play-off rule, if there is a tie after 72 holes, a sudden-death playoff starts on Augusta’s 18th hole. It continues until a winner is found. Augusta National is famous for its Amen Corner (holes 11-13), where many tournaments are won or lost. A selection of the player field typically includes past champions, top-ranked golfers, and a select group of amateur players.
