The kids stole the show at the Masters Par-3 Contest.

The kids stole the show at the Masters Par-3 Contest.

Emma Devine

Hello, friends, and welcome to today’s edition of the Rogers Report, where I am highlighting the very best day in golf. That’s right, folks. Wednesday at the Masters is my favorite day in golf because of the Par-3 Contest, which allows players to take a break from all of their Masters preparation and focus on nothing but family and fun for a few hours. Players, their wives and their adorable children head over to play the nine-hole par-3 course at Augusta National, and the rest of us get to soak it all in.

Let’s take a look at the best moments of the day.

The magic of golf lies within the ability to share the sport across generations. From family to friends, Masters Wednesday provides the opportunity to do just that. #themasters pic.twitter.com/P3PYplZyPt

The first tee shot

You’ll hear a lot about honorary starters at the Masters, but let’s take a moment to highlight the Par-3 Contest starter, Sammy Spieth. Little Spieth has been a starring character in the Par-3 Contest for a few years now, so it was only right he kicked off this year’s event. Let’s take a look.

It looks like Sammy Spieth is taking after his dad’s putting stroke playing cross-handed. He swings with some serious power, and you can tell how proud he is when he embraces his dad after the tee shot. And finally, I’m a big fan of those neon sneakers. He won’t get lost out on the course in those bad boys this week.

Golf’s first family

The World No. 1 and his family stole the show at the Par-3 Contest on Wednesday. The Schefflers enjoyed their first Par-3 Contest as parents, and Bennett Scheffler rocked some sweet Nike socks with his his custom white caddie uniform. Meredith and Scottie Scheffler are the Barbara and Jack Nicklaus of our time, so it’s no surprise they looked as classy as ever making their way around the par-3 course.

The Schefflers always look so put together that I was surprised to learn that their young son cries, because they’re always such a picture-perfect family. Thanks for keeping things real, Bennett.

The following photo is one of my favorites of the day. Sometimes we forget that the best golfers in the world are also dads and husbands, and this image of the World No. 1 in full-on dad mode is as good of a reminder as any.

With the exception of Bennett Scheffler’s very brief cry (we’ve all been there), the whole family looked like they had the best day ever. And the rest of us all had a pretty great time watching their best day ever.

Frankie Fleetwood

To know the Par-3 Contest at the Masters is to know Frankie Fleetwood. He first went viral two years ago after running down the fairway ahead of his dad, Tommy, and he’s been a crowd favorite ever since. I watched him warm up on the practice green ahead of his tee time this afternoon, and he was taking his job very seriously. Little Fleetwood even did an interview with Sky Sports, and he sounded just like a professional golfer talking to the media after a round.

Frankie is a star, and I’m already looking forward to seeing him at the 2026 Par-3 Contest.

The Big Family Division

The biggest families in this year’s Masters are the Finaus, who have six kids, and the Days, who have five. This means that Tony Finau and Jason Day have a lot of caddies with them at the Par-3 Contest. As someone from a big family, it’s the Finau family’s content that is often the most relatable (and chaotic in the best way possible).

The Day parents were also plenty busy during the Par-3 Contest, and all of their kids looked adorable. I’m a big fan of the Adidas kicks they put their youngest in.

Shout out to the Day and Finau parents for getting all of their children over to the Par-3 Contest not just in one piece, but with smiles on their faces. I can’t imagine what it’s like getting a handful of young kids ready for a public outing at the same time.

The celebrations

The Masters Par-3 Contest is filled with moments of celebration, but I followed the Lowry, Fleetwood and McIlroy group so I’ll mostly be focusing on moments from their squad. Let’s kick things off with Iris Lowry, who sunk a putt from the fringe while her dad proudly recorded.

Next up we have Poppy McIlroy with perhaps the most impressive putt of the day.

If this doesn’t prove just how fast the greens are at Augusta National, I don’t know what will.

Jumping for joy. #themasters pic.twitter.com/jQf3ppnY9e

— The Masters (@TheMasters) April 9, 2025

And finally, we’ve got Billy Horschel’s daughter draining a putt and celebrating accordingly.

Pure elation. #themasters pic.twitter.com/qg7ondKd1W

— The Masters (@TheMasters) April 9, 2025

We should all start celebrating our successes on the golf course the way these kids do. We’d all have a lot more fun out there.
