How to Watch The 2025 Masters Par 3 Contest: Stream PGA Live, TV Channel

Before things get underway for The Masters this week, the Par 3 contest takes center stage on Wednesday.

The start of one of the most exciting PGA Tour events will take place this week as the 2025 Masters tournament begins on Thursday, but one event will open the tournament on Wednesday as the par 3 contest takes place before the field tees off in the first round. On Wednesday afternoon at Augusta National, players will be joined by their families for the annual Par 3 Contest. Held on a separate Par 3 course on the northeast corner of the grounds, this one-day, nine-hole event often serves as a chance for players to unwind before four high stress days of golf. They’ll often have family members caddy for them or even occasionally step in for shots around the green. Still, score is kept and a winner is declared at the end of the day.

Last year, American Rickie Fowler won the event, shooting five-under-par before going on to tie for 30th in the Masters Tournament. In the tournament’s history, there have been 112 holes-in-one made during the Par 3 contest, including a record nine in 2016. Five holes-in-one were made in 2024. While there have been some impressive showings in the short-course competition, no winner of the Par 3 Contest has ever gone on to win the Masters.

While no golfers have ever won both in the same year, there have been multiple golfers who have won the Par 3 Contest on more than one occasion with Padraig Harrington being the only golfer to win three times with victories in 2003, 2004 and 2012. Jimmy Walker holds the course record of 19 (8-under-par), set in 2016. The contest has been decided by a playoff on 21 occasions, and concluded with a tie three times with the most recent taking place in 2022 between Mackenzie Hughes and Mike Weir.
