The Masters traditional Par 3 contest takes place Wednesday Apr. 10 at noon.  Augusta National Golf Club will start online live streaming video coverage at 2 p.m.

The contest, which began in 1960, has won the hearts of many patrons as a must-see contest that allows family members to serve as caddies to the contestants, no matter the age.

On Wednesday, contestants will make their way around nine holes and attempt to have the best score against par. 

Famously, no winner of the Par 3 contest has ever won the Masters in the same year. In light of superstition, many participants opt not to post any score, instead strolling the course or allowing their caddies to putt in their place.

2016 winner Jimmy Walker holds the all-time low score of 19. Last year's winner was Tom Hoge, who scored 21.
