Who owns the Masters? Augusta National

It is an event of the club. It counts for PGA of America season points and the WGA ranking but the club runs it. It has a handshake deal with CBS, renewable every year. There are no higher ups to answer to. It went for two years without sponsors.

I think they did this just to get people off of their backs. Women play the course all the time. It won't change the atmosphere.
