The first golf major tournament of the year is the Masters Tournament, played in the first week of April. The venue for the Masters has always been the same, the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, U.S., since its inception in 1934.
The PGA, European, and Japanese golf tours all recognize it as a legitimate money event. There are fewer players here than in the other majors since the Augusta National Golf Club holds an invitation-only tournament.
In the early 1800s, the site was an indigo plantation; since 1857, it has been a plant nursery. Alister MacKenzie was brought on board by Bobby Jones in 1931 to help design the course, unfortunately, MacKenzie passed away prior to the inaugural Masters Tournament in 1933.
The course was created by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, debuted for play in 1932, and was built by Jones and Alister MacKenzie. Golf Digest listed it as the number one course in their 2009 ranking of America's 100 best courses, and Golfweek Magazine ranked it as the tenth best classic course in the country in 2011 based on course architecture.
