Okay, so the other day I was watching some golf highlights, and it got me thinking, “How many rounds do they actually play in the Masters?” I mean, I knew it was a big deal, but I wasn’t sure about the specifics. So, I decided to figure it out.

First, I hit up the official Masters website. I figured that would be the most reliable source, right? I scrolled through a bunch of pages, looking for the tournament format or something similar. I found lots of cool info about the history and the green jacket, but nothing specific about the number of rounds.
Next, I tried a good old Google search. I typed in something like “Masters Tournament number of rounds” and boom, a bunch of articles popped up. I clicked through a few of them to make sure they weren’t just talking about some other “masters” tournament.
The Answer!
It turns out, it’s pretty straightforward. The Masters is a standard 72-hole stroke play * simply means:
- All players play four rounds of 18 holes each.
- This is a total 72 holes,hence 72-hole stroke.
So, there you have it – four rounds, 18 holes each, totaling 72 holes. Now I know, and so do you!
