The highly anticipated 2023 Masters Tournament is scheduled to commence on Thursday, April 6th, but there are a few exciting events that precede the official start. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy various practice rounds, and the Masters Par 3 Contest adds to the excitement earlier in the week. This lighthearted contest takes place on the eve of the tournament and features Masters competitors playing a nine-hole par-3 course with family and friends serving as caddies. This informal event is a fan favorite and provides a unique opportunity to see some of the world’s best golfers in a relaxed atmosphere.
Aside from the Par 3 Contest, there are other events leading up to the Masters Tournament that fans can enjoy. The Drive, Chip and Putt Championship, which showcases the talents of young golfers aged 7-15, takes place on the Sunday before the Masters, providing a glimpse into the future of golf. Additionally, the Champions Dinner, a tradition where past winners of the Masters gather for a special meal, takes place on Tuesday evening.
