If one were to tell any golfer in North America, or the world for that matter, that they could have a choice of playing one golf course in the United States, it’s a lock the vast majority of them would chose Augusta National. It’s on the Mount Rushmore of USA sports locations alongside places like Lambeau Field, Fenway Park and Wrigley Field.

Augusta is also just about the most exclusive club there is, so most mere mortals won’t ever get to play the course. However, one week a year any fan can go visit and that’s for the Masters, the most prestigious golf tournament in the world.

This year is the 82nd version of the first major championship of the season, also a sign that spring has arrived in the USA. The Masters is also the only one of the four majors played at the same course every year. Augusta National is a par-72 measuring 7,435 yards. A total of 87 players are set to tee it up starting Thursday, the tournament’s smallest field this century. The Masters always has the smallest field of the majors.
