The Masters playoff rules follow a sudden-death format that brings intense drama to Augusta National. If two or more players are tied after 72 holes, they move into an immediate playoff rather than playing extra rounds. The playoff begins on the 18th hole, known as “Holly,” where players compete to score the lowest on that hole. If no winner emerges, play continues to the 10th hole, “Camellia,” and then alternates between these two holes until a champion is decided. This format tests nerves, precision, and decision-making under extreme pressure. Understanding these Masters playoff rules helps golf fans better appreciate the excitement and tradition that make this tournament truly special.
