The World Series. The Super Bowl. The Final Four. In sports, there are certain events for which the name alone conjures memories of past triumphs, unforgettable gaffes, and iconic players. For golfers, no event resonates with rich tradition like The Masters. It is the pinnacle of its sport in America; every fan knows what it means to wear the green jacket.
AAA Sojourns takes you to Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia to watch the best players on the PGA Tour work their way through course landmarks like Amen Corner, Eisenhower Tree and Magnolia Lane.
Choose from two independent tour options: Attend the more casual practice rounds (up to all three of them) where the pros warm up early in the week; or come for the tournament, with the option to view two or four rounds of competition.
With any luck, just telling your fellow duffers you watched the pros play through Amen Corner will earn you a mulligan.
