The Masters was the brainchild of legendary amateur golfer Bobby Jones and investment dealer Clifford Roberts, who co-founded the Augusta National Golf Club in 1933.
A very special and beautiful golf course, with unique ponds and sand traps. Stone News Network will be covering this legendary sporting event beginning April 7, 2025.
We'll be covering The Masters in the evening this year remotely - in all it's beautiful glory.
