Yesterday, I was digging into some golf stuff online and bumped into this question: how many pars were made in the 2023 Masters? It got me thinking, so I decided to do some investigating on my own.
First, I tried to find some general info about the tournament. I found out that there were no holes-in-one during the 2023 Masters. Can you believe it? The last time someone got a hole-in-one was Stewart Cink back in 2022. And from what I gathered, there have been only 34 holes-in-one in the whole history of the Masters. That really puts things in perspective.
Then, I started thinking about how many players were even in the tournament. My search told me that 89 players teed off in the first two rounds, and that number dropped to 50 for the weekend rounds. With a little math, I figured there were a total of 5,004 possible pars. I also came across some stats saying that the average score for the field was around 73.52.
After that, I dove a bit deeper. Apparently, 93 players played at least one round during the 2023 Masters. I was curious about how many pars these guys actually made. So I kept searching, and boom, I found it. Over the whole week, they parred a whopping 3,029 holes! That’s a lot of pars.
I also found some interesting tidbits about birdies. In the four days of play at the 2023 Masters, there were 880 birdies made. That’s 53 more than the previous year. It seems like the players were really bringing their A-game when it came to birdies.
So, what’s the final answer?
- Total pars at the 2023 Masters: 3,029
It was a fun little investigation, and I learned a lot about the 2023 Masters. I mean, who would have thought there were that many pars made? It just goes to show how much goes on during a big tournament like that. I hope you guys found this as interesting as I did!
