[1] Legendary professional golfer Gary Player chose the 1999 Masters Champions Dinner as his setting to recruit two other greats – Jack Nicklaus and the late Arnold Palmer – to share in his dream of a 27-hole, private golf club located just outside of Augusta, Georgia.

The legends designed nine signature holes of championship golf together, sculpting from the foundation of more than 365 acres of skyward Georgia pines, long-standing hardwood, and wetlands.

With three distinct properties to choose from, Gary Player handled the designation of the land by writing “Island,” “Creek” and “Bluff” on the back of three index cards.

NBC Sports provided pre-event promotion across NBCUniversal’s portfolio, while Golf Channel delivered the highlights, live reports, and news coverage throughout the event, including onsite during the first two competitive rounds at Champions Retreat.

[2] Seventeen-year-old Tsubasa Kajitani became the first international ANWA champion, and the first winner from Japan at Augusta National in any tournament, with her playoff victory over Wake Forest's Emilia Migliaccio in 2021.

In her first appearance at the Augusta National Women's Amateur, 16-year-old Anna Davis became the event's youngest champion in 2022 by shooting a 3-under 69 to finish at 1 under and win by a single stroke.

Designed by Jack Nicklaus, The Bluff course features numerous mounds and rolling hills, with mature Georgia pines spread throughout.

Designed by Gary Player, the opening four holes play in a wetland area while the remaining part of the course moves upland through native hardwood trees.
