The Augusta National Golf Club is a private golf club in Augusta, Georgia, that each year hosts the prestigious Masters Golf Tournament. The Masters is the first of the four major tournaments that comprise the official PGA tour. Unlike the other three majors -- the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship -- The Masters is always held at Augusta National.
The Club owes its existence to legendary golfer Bobby Jones who sought to build a course that took advantage of the natural characteristics of the land. Jones, along with his business partner Clifford Roberts, purchased a 365-acre piece of property outside Augusta, Georgia, known as the Fruitland Nurseries, and hired famed Scottish golf course architect Dr. Alister McKenzie as a designer.
The course officially opened to its national membership in January 1933 and hosted its first tournament, called the Augusta National Invitation Tournament, in 1934. In 1939, the name of the tournament was changed to The Masters.August.com: History of Augusta
