On this day in history, March 22, 1934, Masters Tournament tees off for first time in Augusta, Georgia

The Masters Tournament is an international sports tradition held each spring at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, which is famed for its stunning scenery and legendary performances by golf’s greatest players.

The Augusta National Invitation Tournament in Georgia teed off for the first time on this day in history, March 22, 1934. 

"A tradition unlike any other," in the now-famous words of CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz, the golf competition was renamed the Masters Tournament in 1939 and moved to the first full week of April in 1948. 

Ralph Stonehouse, fueled by a January victory in the 1934 Miami Open, did the honors of driving the very first ball in the new tournament at 9:45 a.m. 

The first hole at Augusta National in 1934 is the 10th hole today, several golf sources point out.

Golf legend Horton Smith won the inaugural Masters; he earned his second title in 1936. 

The Missouri native was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1990. 

His 1934 victory at Augusta marked the start of a what's become a cherished annual springtime ritual in the United States — an event in which the world's best golfers vie for glory amid one of the most spectacular settings in all of sports.
