The 90th edition of the Masters Golf Tournament begins today at the Augusta National Golf Course in Augusta, Georgia. Ninety-one of the world's top professional golfers are scheduled to compete for the coveted Green Jacket and their share of the prize purse, which is expected to total more than $21million this year. Tickets to the event are exceedingly hard to come by and are dispensed via a lottery system. While Augusta National does not release final attendance figures, it is estimated that just 40,000 of the nearly two million lottery entrants are selected to attend the four days of tournament play.
