The 2025 Masters Tournament is approaching, and all eyes will be on the world’s best golfers in Augusta as they compete for the prestigious green jacket. Before the 89th edition of the tournament begins, the family-friendly Masters Par 3 Contest provides a light-hearted atmosphere, easing the intensity of the competition ahead.
The Par 3 Contest, a cherished tradition that has stood the test of time for over 60 years, will take place on Wednesday, April 9th. This event, deeply rooted in history, is a family affair, allowing participants' families – including children and grandchildren – to participate or serve as caddies. It's not uncommon to see toddlers dressed in miniature Augusta National jumpsuits chasing after golf balls.

The Par 3 Contest course features holes around DeSoto Springs Pond and Ike's Pod. The contestant with the most favorable score against par after nine holes is declared the winner. This means that the player's score is compared to the 'par' for each hole, and the contestant with the lowest total score wins. Rickie Fowler won in 2024 with a score of 22.
In the history of the Par 3 Contest, no player has ever won both the contest and the Masters Tournament in the same year.
The 2025 Masters Par 3 Contest will take place on Wednesday, April 9th, starting at noon ET. The event will be broadcast on ESPN and can be streamed live on Masters.com, the Masters app, and ESPN+.
