Today, I tried to figure out how many total pars were in the 2023 Masters. It wasn’t too hard, but I spent some time on it.
First, I did a quick search online. Some sites gave different numbers, which was a bit confusing. I saw a number, 3029, pop up a few times, so I figured that was probably it. But I wanted to be sure, so I kept digging.
I found some info about how many players were in the tournament. It said there were 89 players in the first two rounds and 50 in the last two. Then, there was something about a total of 5,004 possible pars. Honestly, I didn’t really get how they got that number. It seemed a little off to me, so I decided to do the math myself.
Each round has 18 holes, and the Masters has four rounds. So, I multiplied the number of players by the number of holes and then by the number of rounds. For the first two rounds, it was 89 players times 18 holes times 2 rounds, which gave me 3,204. For the last two rounds, it was 50 players times 18 holes times 2 rounds, which gave me 1,800. Adding those together, I got 5,004, which was the same as what I saw online. But I still thought the real number of pars must be much less than that.
Then I saw another number, 3,029, which was said to be the actual number of pars in the 2023 Masters. That made more sense to me. I mean, not every hole is going to be a par. There are birdies and bogeys too, right? So, 3,029 seemed more realistic than 5,004. I also found a number of 3202 pars for the Masters 2024. It really confused me.
So, after all this, I’m pretty sure there were 3,029 pars in the 2023 Masters. I’m not 100% sure, but it’s the number that makes the most sense based on what I found.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Looked online for the number of pars.
- Saw 3,029 a lot, but wasn’t sure.
- Tried to do the math myself, but it didn’t feel right.
- Found info about the number of players and possible pars.
- Decided 3,029 was probably the right number.
Anyway, that’s what I did today. It was kind of interesting, but also a little confusing. I hope you all got something out of it!
