It might be the second-best tradition unlike any other.
It is definitely a premier event at Augusta National.
It’s the Par 3 Contest.
Staged at a short course on the property, the Par 3 contest is full of great shots, great laughs and if you’re lucky, some holes in one.
The Par 3 Contest starts at 12 p.m. ET.
The livestream on Masters.com begins at 2 p.m. ET.
ESPN’s live TV coverage comes on at 3 p.m. ET and runs till 5.

The course was built in 1958 and the first Par 3 contest was staged two years later.
Players often have their children (or grandchildren) tagging along as caddies. Many times those kids get the chance to sink a birdie putt.
The Par 3 contest winner has yet to go on to win the Masters in the same week.
Defending Masters champion Patrick Reed is playing, but neither Tiger Woods nor Phil Mickelson are in the field.
