The Masters, more commonly known as Masters of Augusta, is one of the four major tournaments (also called majors) in the men's golf calendar and the first to be held every year. The final round takes place annually the weekend the second Sunday in April. Unlike other majors, the Masters has a permanent seat, the Augusta National Golf Club, a private golf club located in Augusta, Georgia, USA. The precursors of the tournament players were Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, who designed the field alongside the legendary designer Alister MacKenzie tours. Similar to other majors, winning the Masters gives the golfer who gets certain privileges: It is automatically invited to play the other three majors for the next five years, and get a lifetime invitation to play the Masters. It also becomes part of the PGA Tour and is invited to play the tournament The Players' over the next five years. In 2006, the budget for awards was $ 7 million. The most significant prize in the tournament, however, is the coveted "Green Jacket." Besides this prize, the tournament winner receives a gold medal and his name is engraved on the trophy for the Masters. This trophy, which represents the clubhouse, was first awarded in 1961 and remains in the club. Since 1993, a replica of the trophy is awarded to the winner in recognition. For its part, the finalist receives a silver medal, and since 1978, a silver tray. The Augusta Masters game follows the typical format, ie a distance of 72 shots in 18 holes to make four times over four days. The tournament is governed by rules issued by the Association of Golf of the United States "and by its own rules issued by the committee in charge of your organization. Because this event has a relatively smaller area than the rest of the tournament, the groups are formed with three players during the first 36 holes (the first two days, usually Thursday and Friday). After all the players make these holes, we proceed to make a cut, ie eliminating players who have made more than a specified number of strokes. Players who "make the cut" are chosen at least one of the following. The 44 players with the lowest number of strokes (including those players who are tied with the player with the worst score of 44). Those who have not made more than 10 strokes better than the best result, ie not implemented by 10 strokes more than the leader. Besides the cash prize, the winner of the tournament receives the green jacket, distinctive symbol of the tournament. This prize has been awarded since 1949 and is highly prized among golf professionals. This jacket is, indeed, the symbol of the club and its members typically used in the field. The winners keep the jacket during the year after his victory, and returned to the club in the next edition of the tournament. The tradition began in 1949, where Sam Snead won the tournament. Only the winner of each edition can remove the jacket golf club, after which he must return to the club. The only exception to this tradition occurred in 1962 when Gary Player, winner of the previous edition, did not return his jacket, despite the insistence of the club to do so.Tradition also dictates that the winner of the previous edition jacket impose the winner of the current edition. In 1966, Jack Nicklaus became the first player to win the tournament in consecutive years, so he donned his jacket. When Nick Faldo (1990) and Tiger Woods (2002) won the tournament also running, was the chairman of Augusta National Golf Club who imposed the jacket.
