History

Historical Context

The Masters Tournament, first held in March 1934 at Augusta National Golf Club, was co-founded by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts to attract players and spectators during the Great Depression. Horton Smith won the inaugural event, earning $1,500 from a $5,000 purse. The tournament's traditions, including the green jacket, have since shaped golf's competitive landscape and influenced the careers of many champions.
