The Masters Tournament is played under the Rules of Golf, which are administered by the U.S. Golf Association and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club.
They all look good in green
Mark O'Meara has never been known for his brash predictions, but he made one to his caddie as he prepared to play the final two holes.
50 years on, the shouting hasn't stopped
The year 1958 was eventful at the Masters Tournament. Two bridges across Rae's Creek were dedicated in honor of Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. A young pro named Arnold Palmer won the tournament for the first time. And Amen Corner was born.
History runs through it
Rae's Creek winds through the National at Amen Corner, the famous stretch of holes that is often instrumental in deciding the Masters winner. The creek flows in front of the 12th green and behind the 11th green. A tributary runs up the left side of the 13th fairway and in front of the greens.
