The curse of the par-three contest

The par-three contest that was introduced on Augusta’s par-three course in 1960 takes place each year on the Wednesday preceding the tournament. It is huge fun for the spectators, with over 70 holes-in-one witnessed to date, i.e. more than one a year. Many players use family members and friends as caddies on the day, one of the most famous being Rory McIlroy’s girlfriend in 2013, Danish former world number one tennis player, Caroline Wozniacki. The competition also serves as useful short-game practice for the players on the eve of the Masters tournament, but winning comes with a curse, since no winner of the par-three contest has ever gone on to be Masters champion in the same year.
