It’s time for one of the best traditions of Masters week: the Par 3 Contest.
With the first major of the year beginning Thursday morning, many competitors will head to Augusta National Golf Club’s renovated par-3 course to enjoy nine holes with family, friends and others Wednesday afternoon.
After the Par 3 Contest was canceled in 2020 and 2021, last year’s edition was shortened because of weather, with Canadians Mike Weir and Mackenzie Hughes splitting the title at 4-under 23. It was the first time since 2012 there were multiple winners because of a suspension of play.
However, the 2023 edition is bound to be thrilling. The new course will be showcased for the first time to the world in one of the most heartwarming events in golf.
