The Masters was started by amateur champion Bobby Jones and investment banker Clifford Roberts.
After his grand slam in 1930, Bobby Jones acquired the former plant nursery and co-designed Augusta National with course architect Alister MacKenzie.
First played 88 years ago in 1934, the tournament is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour.
The field of players is smaller than those of the other major championships because it is an invitational event, held by the Augusta National Golf Club.
The 2022 Masters Tournament will be the 86th edition of the Masters Tournament and the first of the men’s four major golf championships held in 2022.

Why Are Masters Hats So Expensive?

While the Masters apparel and other goods are costly, the prices of hats (about $25 to $35), basic golf shirts ($69 to $79) and trendy pullovers and sweaters ($80 to $185) are comparable to what those items cost in the merchandise tents at other major golf championships.
Apparently, the reason the Masters Hat is so expensive is because of the nature of the Masters Tournament.
The Masters is the youngest of the four majors, and the only one played on the same golf course every year and this unique fact sets it apart from any other golf course in the world.
