Basics About The Tournament

A common feature of the golf majors is that the event takes place in several locations, but the Masters Tournament is unique because it always takes place at the Augusta National golf club in Georgia, United States. This private golf course is spread over 7,435 yards in length. The Masters actually has the smallest field of the 4 major championships. Golfers will qualify based solely on their performance in previous amateur tournaments.

Players at the 2017 Masters Tournament are once again set to be considered as celebrities, as the field at this tournament is usually small. This tournament is an invitation only event. Yet, it is part of the PGA Tour, Japan Golf Tour, and the European Tour as official money events.

The winner of the tournament will get to wear the green jersey. Unlike at other major championships, the winner will have to return this jersey to the clubhouse 12 months after the win. However, it would remain the personal property of the winner. The jacket would be stored in a designated cloakroom.

As one of the greatest golfers of his generation, Tiger Woods shares the record score at this tournament with Jordan Spieth. Both have managed a score of 270 and a -18 par. One of the huge attractions of the 2017 Masters Tournament is the prize money of $10 million for the winner. Jack Nicklaus is considered as the most successful player at the Masters after having won the title six times. Players from the United States have won the title 59 times.

Danny Willett is the reigning champion after having won the 2016 event with a margin of three strokes over Jordan Spieth and Lee Westwood.

Power Rankings: Masters Tournament

  • Rory Mcllory - He's got the experience and definitely the heartbreak. He is poised to win this Masters than ever before.
  • Dustin Johnson - He is the 1. Winner of the previous three starts. T4 and T6 in the last two appearances at ANGC. He's got nine fewer red numbers (ten) than McIlroy and in only 4 fewer rounds (twenty-six).
  • Jordan Spieth - Fought quite a lot at the par-3 twelfth hole last year. He arrives ready and went T2 Win T2 in his previous three plays.
  • Rickie Fowler - He has not escaped those big numbers from August National. This is his 7th appearance here.
  • Justin Rose - He was co-runner-up way back in 2015. Has 4 top 10s and 4 top 25s. He maintained a strong form in 2017 until now.

Winners

History shows us that the previous two winners managed to prevail in their 2nd appearance. For instance, Spieth set the Masters record of 28 birdies on his way to the title two years ago. Last year's winner, Danny Willet, was definitely an opportunist who took the title from Spieth by three. Mother Nature will be the one to decide much.

In addition to personal experience when it comes to golf, no secrets are placed at Augusta National, at the 2017 Masters Tournament. Competitors will have to score on the set of four par 5s to be able to make the cut.
