The Masters was started on March 22, 1934, by noted amateur champion Bobby Jones and Investment Banker Clifford Roberts. The Masters, also known as The Masters or The US Masters is one of the four major championships in professional golf.

The tournament has a number of traditions. SinceĀ 1949, a green jacket has been awarded to the champion, who must return it to the clubhouse one year after his victory, although it remains his personal property and is stored with other champions’ jackets in a specially designated cloakroom.

The event is scheduled for Apr. 5 – Apr. 9, 2018, where Sergio Garcia is ready to defend his title he won by defeating Justin Rose in a playoff in 2017.

Till date, only three players have won The Masters back to back, Jack Nicklaus (1965 & 1966), Nick Faldo (1989 & 1990), and Tiger Woods (2001 & 2002).
