The Drive, Chip and Putt was first held in 2013 and it’s become an important event each year at Augusta National Golf Club.
Contested on the Sunday before Masters week begins, the DCP has two divisions, one for boys, the other for girls, with multiple age divisions. In all, there are 40 boys and 40 girls ranging in age from 7 to 15 who advance to the final each year after making it through local, sub-regional and regional qualifying.
The DCP is a joint venture of the Masters Tournament, the USGA and the PGA of America and is “aimed at growing the game by focusing on the three fundamental skills employed in golf.”
