One of the great things about professional sports is that, in addition to seeing your favorite participants playing at the top of their game, occasionally something magical happens. Golf is no exception and the US Masters Tournament has seen more than its fair share of wow! There are some moments so amazing you just had to be there to get the full effect. Plus you get a lifetime of bragging rights. Continue Reading →

For some mysterious reason, perhaps due to being the first major of the year or taking place at a club with a controversial history, the Masters is a tournament that's hosted many heartbreaks. Seemingly unstoppable performances collapse on Sunday surprisingly often, but there are three particular upsets that stand out from the rest. Continue Reading →

The words Masters” and “style”
were born to live in the same sentence. -Golf  Digest

If your sense of style includes ripped tennis shoes and a raggy t-shirt with a funny saying on the front, you can wear them at the Masters Tournament in Augusta. But no one will be laughing, and the scorn that would rain down upon you would make a raging thunderstorm seem gentle.

The Masters has a dress code, and as with the event itself, it is understated:

Appropriate clothing and shoes should be worn at all times.
Golf shoes with metal spikes are not permitted.

An online news venue says, “You will mainly see golf casual on the course. Layered clothing is also recommended since mornings are still a little cool.”

Dress Like a Player

If you’re a golfer, dress like one and use weather-sense. Be prepared for rain and/or extreme heat. Layer clothing. Sturdy walking shoes you’ve “broken-in” would be your most valuable article of clothing.

Golf Digest cites outstanding outfits worn by Masters players, and you can re-create these looks:

• 1960, Arnold Palmer/Ben Hogan – Navy cardigans and black brogues set the stage for an “iconic…signature” look. If your cardigan is custom-fitted, all the better.
• 1984, Gary Player – Gary’s style was “man in black,” but the day he wore white pants, white shoes, and a white-trimmed navy polo shirt, heads turned and fashionistos took note. His cap, belt, and golf glove were bright white. On that day, Gary Player “popped.”
• 2016, Billy Horschel – Not many people can pull off “crazy patterned pants,” but Billy did by pairing them with nothing but solid colors.

There’s Style…And Staying in Style

Another way to “stay in the style” at the Masters is to let us arrange executive housing for your stay in Augusta. Bring the family. Or you and your friends can enjoy a rental home that includes daily maid service and a chef.

The Masters Golf Tournament is one of the four biggest events on the PGA tour and Augusta, GA is the place where the top golfers in the sport dream about winning their Green Jacket. You may never earn the green jacket yourself, but that doesn't mean you can't "win" at the Masters. The tournament in Augusta is a huge opportunity to market your products and build your marketing network virtually from the ground up. For the enterprising marketer, the masters can be a turn-key event to launch your business into its next phase.

Why Is The Masters Such A Big Deal?

The Masters is unquestionably among the biggest sporting events of the year. The seven-day duration of the complete event offers you a much wider breadth of time to deploy your marketing efforts compared to one-day events like the Super Bowl. Each participant has qualified throughout their competitive play leading up to the event, so virtually every round and every tee time offer a superstar of the sport taking on their superstar competitors. Even the amateur participants are the best out of their peers and usually on the verge of making a splash on the pro scene.  

How The Masters Can Be A Turnkey Marketing Solution

When you are marketing at the masters, you have the perfect conditions to institute a turnkey marketing strategy. You will have a competitive edge over your competitors who are not hosting or making any attempt to affiliate the tournament with their brand identity. The amount of brand loyalty that the PGA tour in general and the Masters in particular enjoys has been formed over 8 decades. Your key customers and clients see the Masters as a source of joy in recreation, and you can affiliate your brand identity with that feeling. Your presence at the event lends the prestige of the tournament to your brand. Not all sporting events have this ineffable cachet or sense of dignity to their proceedings. This may be why the event is such a singular marketing opportunity and why opportunities to attend are so competitive.
