 Masters Tournament facts

• The Masters is scheduled for the first full week of April, and it is the first of the majors to be played each year
• Unlike the other major championships, the Masters is held each year at the same location, Augusta National Golf Club, a private golf club in the city of Augusta, Georgia, USA
• The Masters was started by Clifford Roberts and Bobby Jones
• Jones designed Augusta National with course architect Alister MacKenzie
• The tournament is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour
• The field of players is smaller than those of the other major championships because it is an invitational event, held by the Augusta National Golf Club
• The tournament has a number of traditions
• Since 1949, a green jacket has been awarded to the champion, who must return it to the clubhouse one year after his victory, although it remains his personal property and is stored with other champions' jackets in a specially designated cloakroom
• In most instances, only a first-time and currently reigning champion may remove his jacket from the club grounds
• A golfer who wins the event multiple times uses the same green jacket awarded upon his initial win (unless he needs to be re-fitted with a new jacket)
