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.

While The Masters isn't the oldest major tournament in golf, it has earned one of the most prestigious reputations due to its very unique style and tradition. No other tournament or event has an item as iconic as the green jacket or a history so full of noteworthy performances. This is a special event even for those who aren't playing. To make sure you experience the event of a lifetime while you're at The Masters, make sure you follow some of these important tips. 

Enjoy the Food

When you visit Augusta National Golf Club, make sure to go hungry. If you're lucky enough to get a Masters Series Badge with a Clubhouse Upgrade, you'll have the opportunity to dine next to the big live oak tree in the member's only section. Rumor has it that this dining room creates some of the best cuisine on any course around. Even if you don't get this special badge, the normal dining options at The Masters are excellent, and the prices are surprisingly affordable. Don't forget the famous pimento cheese sandwich.

Get a Spot at the Twelfth Tee

Probably one of the best viewpoints at Augusta, the small bleachers behind the 12th tee offer an amazing view of three different holes. You'll get to see the approach shot to the 11th green, the tee shot at the 12th as well as the tee shot at the 13th. It's these holes where major shifts on the leader board are seen on Saturday and Sunday. Of course, there are great views at spots around the course, so make sure to mix things up when you can.

Go a Day Before the Official Start

Masters week officially begins on the Sunday before the tournament, and there are many activities to participate in each day before the first tee off on Thursday. If you can't make it too early, at least arrive on Wednesday to see the par-3 tournament. This is the ideal opportunity to see legends of the game like Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. You'll also have the chance to view players in their practice sessions. Since there are no leaders before the tournament, the crowds are dispersed and it's easier to get a closer look at your favorite players. 

If you mention the Masters to someone, chances are they will know exactly what you are talking about, even if they are not a big golf fan. The Masters Golf Tournament, to give it its full name, is now one of the best known annual sporting events. But the competition was not always known by that title. Co-founded in 1934 by the legendary golfer Bobby Jones, it was first known as the Augusta National Invitational Tournament. Jones initially tried to get the US Open to be played at his new Augusta club, but the offer was rejected as the hot Georgia weather was thought to be too humid for elite tournament play.

Though there was talk of calling it the Masters at the very outset, Jones objected to the name on the basis that it would sound too presumptuous. Instead he insisted it be known more modestly as the Augusta National Invitational Tournament. However, within a few years it had quickly established a reputation worth of the lofty title and Jones agreed to let it be named the Masters Tournament after all, with the present familiar title being adopted in 1939. Its fame would grow and grow, especially after being associated with names like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, and Tiger Woods after that.

These days the tournament is simply known by that short yet elegant name. Much of its popularity can be attributed to its permanent home at a fine course, and the rich set of traditions that have been developed around it, including the famed green jacket. Originally just for members of the club, it is now awarded to the winner each year in a time-honored ritual. One thing is certain is that the club and the competition Bobby Jones envisioned and helped make a reality all those years ago has certainly lived up to its name.
