Bennett Scheffler. Poppy McIlroy. Bear Burns. Sammy and Sophie Spieth. Cam Homa. Molly Grace Thomas. You might not know their names yet, but you’re surely familiar with their superstar parents.

And on Wednesday at Augusta National, it’s was the Next Gen’s turn to take over the spotlight. The 2025 Masters Par 3 Contest may even surpass the happiness emanating from the property on Tuesday, as smiles, laughs, fist-pumps and adorable, putter-wielding toddlers won the day.

The Masters Par 3 Contest is a beloved Augusta National tradition that began in 1960. Over the years, it’s morphed into a delightful showcase of players’ growing families. For the elder returning Masters champions, it’s a chance to tour the course with a grandchild. For contenders in their prime, it’s a fun way to unwind a bit with their kids before the tension of tournament week begins in earnest on Thursday.

Augusta National’s Par 3 Course measures out to 1,055 total yards, with holes that play between 70 and 155 yards. The player’s regular caddies are given a break for the Masters Par 3 Contest, as wives, girlfriends, children, grandchildren and other friends and relatives step in to schlep the bag instead. One commonality: everyone wears the traditional white caddie jumpsuit — which you can buy too!

Adult Custom Caddie Uniform With Name and Number

The adult caddie uniform!    Every uniform comes with a personalized nameplate and number on removable velcro patches.   These are perfect for Halloween, golf outings, family portraits, personal use and more. Please be mindful that orders are custom-made and may take up to 7 days to arrive.    Get more for the whole family: Kid Uniforms Caddie    *Returns unavailable for this product.
