Well, let me tell ya, when we talk about the 2023 Masters and all them pars, it’s a real big ol’ number, I tell ya. Now, if you don’t know what a par is, that’s just how many strokes it should take a golfer to get the ball into the hole, right? The pros, they all try to make pars, but sometimes they do better and get birdies, or worse and get bogeys. So, how many of them pars were there in the 2023 Masters? Well, sit tight, ’cause I got the numbers for ya.
Now, the Masters in 2023 took place from April 6 to April 9. Four days of golf, with all them players out there trying to make their best shots at Augusta National. There was a total of 93 players who got their chance to hit that course, each of them trying to get the lowest score they could, but let’s talk about those pars. The big ol’ number that stuck out to me was that the total pars for the whole tournament in 2023 came to a whopping 3029! That’s a lot of pars, ain’t it? So many pars, I can’t even count ’em all on my fingers.
Now, you might be wondering, how does that compare to other years? Well, to be honest, in the grand scheme of things, 3029 pars ain’t even 1.5% of the total number of shots taken by all them players during the four days of the Masters. They hit that ball a whole lotta times, but most of ’em did pretty good at getting that par.
Speaking of players, you mighta heard of a few of them big names out there. Folks like Jon Rahm, who ended up taking the win that year. His victory brought a real surge in viewership. CBS’s broadcast of the Masters averaged a whopping 12.06 million viewers, which is a whole lot of folks sittin’ on their couches watchin’ them golfers swing away. I reckon that’s why they say golf’s such a fancy sport—lots of folks watchin’, even if they don’t play.
So, what do we know about these pars? Well, the number of pars doesn’t tell us everything about the game, but it sure gives us a sense of how well the golfers are playin’. In 2023, the Masters had a pretty solid mix of good and bad shots. There’s a bunch of par-4s out there, about ten of ’em to be exact, and them players gotta be careful ’cause Augusta’s no easy place to play, even for the pros. It’s tricky, with all them hills and the way the wind blows just right to mess up your shot.
One thing that caught my eye was how the debutants did. You know, them folks who never played in the Masters before? Well, no first-timers have won the Masters since Fuzzy Zoeller did it back in 1979. So, if you’re new to Augusta, you’re gonna have a mighty hard time figurin’ out all them twists and turns of the course. That’s probably why them new folks don’t usually make a big ol’ splash, even though they might play a decent game.
And just for the fun of it, let’s talk about them hole numbers. Augusta’s got all sorts of holes, and some of ’em are real tricky. The par-4s can be real tough, especially the ones that twist and turn. The pros know how to handle ’em, but let’s be real, some of them holes sure make you sweat a bit. No wonder they play this tournament every year, huh?
So, there you have it. A big ol’ number of pars, a lotta players, and a whole lotta excitement at the Masters 2023. Them golfers gave us a good show, and them pars were part of that. Whether they made par or birdie or bogey, they sure kept us on the edge of our seats. If you ever get a chance to see the Masters live, don’t let it slip by. It’s a good ol’ time, no matter if you understand golf or not.
