The Augusta National Women’s Amateur continues to grow and get better.
Introduced in 2019, it gave the world’s top female amateurs a shot at playing Augusta National Golf Club in what has become one of the premier amateur events on the calendar. And for the first time this year, players have a chance to participate in one of the signature highlights of Masters week.
During Friday’s practice round at Augusta National, ANWA participants were also able to play the Par 3 Course for the first time. The nine-hole layout was redesigned before the 2023 Masters, which rerouted holes 1-5 and took out trees for better patron viewing experiences.
