About the Par 3 Contest

First played in 1960, the Par 3 Contest has become a beloved Wednesday tradition at the Masters.

The Contest field includes Tournament participants, noncompeting past champions, and Honorary Invitees. The nine-hole, par-27 course measures 1,060 yards and plays over DeSoto Springs Pond and Ike's Pond.
