The Masters is more than just a golf tournament; it is a repository of time-honored traditions that have become synonymous with the event.

- The Champions Dinner: On Tuesday before the tournament, the reigning Masters champion hosts a dinner for past champions. The menu is selected by the defending champion, adding a personal touch to this exclusive gathering.
- The Par-3 Contest: On Wednesday, the players compete in the traditional Par-3 Contest, a lighthearted competition where the shortest tee shots on the picturesque par-3 holes are rewarded with applause and laughter.
li> The Honorary Starters: Each year, two honorary starters, usually past Masters champions or golfing legends, hit ceremonial tee shots to officially start the tournament on Thursday morning.
