Nico Echavarria emerged victorious at the 2025 Masters Par 3 Contest after edging J.J. Spaun in a playoff. The pair replayed the ninth hole twice, with Echavarria sealing the win with a birdie while Spaun bogeyed the second extra hole.
Held at Augusta National, the Par 3 Contest remains a beloved prelude to the Masters. Players’ families joined in, wearing the iconic white caddie bibs, turning the event into a heartwarming celebration ahead of golf’s biggest stage.
Three holes-in-one lit up the contest—Keegan Bradley and Brooks Koepka on No. 6, and Tom Hoge on No. 4. Since 1960, there have been 115 total aces. Closest-to-the-pin honors included Davis Riley at 3 inches and Larry Mize at 15 inches.
No Par 3 Contest winner has ever won the Masters in the same year—a streak Echavarria aims to break. With the main event ahead, all eyes turn to Augusta’s iconic fairways to see if he can defy tradition and make history.
