“I love it; it’s a good family event; it’s great to have them out there, and I look forward to having them in the future,” said Brooks Koepka, laying out his thoughts about the iconic Par 3 contest. Before the golfers step into the fierce competition starting Thursday at ANGC, they indulge in the family-friendly competition on Wednesday. The entire golf community cherishes this friendly competition. The tradition, which began in 1960, is still a constant!
The participants in the par-3 contest play the nine-hole course designed by George Cobb and Cliff Roberts, which is set around DeSoto Springs Pond and Ike’s Pond. In the tournament’s history, there have been 112 holes-in-one made, including a record nine in 2016. In 2024, five aces were recorded. Jimmy Walker holds the course record of 19 (8 under), set in 2016. The contest has been decided by a playoff on 21 occasions, and concluded with a tie three times. With so much history, you sure do not want to miss it!
So to witness the all-things-fun at Augusta on Wednesday, April 9th, you can stream the event on Masters.com ESPN+, and Disney+ from 12 to 4 PM ET. If you wish to watch it on TV can tune in from 2 to 4 PM ET. The event will be broadcast on ESPN after the second day of practice rounds.
Last year, Rickie Fowler took away the title with his 5-under performance. But this year, we will have a new winner as Fowler is ruled out of the competition because he did not meet the qualification criteria. With all eyes of fans on the family moments, the event will have a closer look at Cam Smith’s newborn, who has brought baby luck to his performance.
Cam Smith will feature with Remy in the par 3 contest
Aussie Cam Smith recently welcomed a new family member and has already observed baby luck benefits. The golfer, with his recent performance at the LIV Golf Miami, led the team to victory, along with his T9 finish in the individual event. When asked about the new baby luck, he was certain it had a role to play, “He’s the winning formula for the team, obviously, I think. One from one, Remy is. It’s so cool.”
Now, with his next participation at the Masters, he has also laid out the same optimism for his performance. “I hope so; otherwise, he won’t be coming to any other events. (Laughter.) I’m joking, by the way,” joked Smith of his son.
Well, the optimistic approach will unveil on the 13th or before with the performance of the golfer, but what’s interesting to witness is the golfer participating with the new addition to the family, the Par 3 contest.
With families coming in with golfers on Wednesday, who do you think will win this year? Which family will you be rooting for? Let us know in the comments below.
