Masters 2025: Best moments of the Masters Par 3 Contest
#news #newsupdates #newstoday #latestnews #golf #golf news
The beloved tradition of the Masters Par 3 Contest is back for its 63rd edition.
Dating back to 1960, when Sam Snead won the inaugural contest, the Par 3 Contest is a lighthearted competition where contestants and past Masters champions are invited to play on a shortened nine-hole course. Often, golfers choose relatives, celebrities, spouses or children as their caddies.
Though the competition is lighthearted, the contestants still play to win.
There have been 112 holes-in-one made in the history of the competition. In 2024, there were five holes-in-one — Luke List, Gary Woodland, Sepp Straka, Lucas Glover, and Viktor Hovland
Superstition might cause contestants who expect to be contenders in the Masters to try not to win — no winner of the Par 3 Contest has ever won the Masters in the same year.
Here are some of the best moments from this year’s Par 3 Contest:

Herding kids
Parenting can be difficult. So can golfing. Trying to do both at the same time? Even more so.
Half playing, half parenting. Multi-tasking at its best. #themasters pic.twitter.com/MD6fFzlcNg

Near miss for Bubba
Bubba Watson came this close to an ace. A good sign of things to come in the main tournament?
