Every note of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur soundtrack is intentional.
The ANWA— held April 3-6 at Augusta National— released a video Monday which documents the creation of the tournament’s soundtrack. In the video, the composers said they created several different melodies in an attempt to “capture the emotion” and significance of the first event for female golfers at Augusta National.
The composers and musicians also wanted the music to tell the stories of the women who will be participating in the tournament and the prestige of the course on which they will play.
Just as all female golfers will be playing in the tournament beginning Wednesday, the soundtrack includes all female musicians in the string section.

On International Women’s Day on Match 8, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur released a teaser video for the tournament featuring Florida junior Sierra Brooks. Brooks is one of 72 women expected to compete in the ANWA from Wednesday through Saturday.
