Masters 2025: Best moments of the Masters Par 3 Contest

The beloved tradition of the Masters Par 3 Contest is back for its 63rd edition.

Dating back to 1960, when Sam Snead won the inaugural contest, the Par 3 Contest is a lighthearted competition where contestants and past Masters champions are invited to play on a shortened nine-hole course. Often, golfers choose relatives, celebrities, spouses or children as their caddies.

Though the competition is lighthearted, the contestants still play to win.

There have been 112 holes-in-one made in the history of the competition, according to ESPN Stats & Information. In 2024, there were five holes-in-one — Luke List, Gary Woodland, Sepp Straka, Lucas Glover, and Viktor Hovland

Superstition may cause contestants who are actively competing in the Masters to try not to win — no winner of the Par 3 Contest has ever won the Masters in the same year.

Here are some of the best moments from this year’s Par 3 Contest:
