The Par 3 Contest takes place a day before the Masters Tournament. The fun event often gives pro golfers a bit of a break from the upcoming major. One of the key components of the contest that makes it unique from other golf competitions is that the golfers include their families, many of whom serve as caddies. In 2023, Rory McIlroy was joined by both Erica Stoll and the couple’s daughter Poppy. Although McIlroy did not win the Par 3 Contest, he appeared to have a great time on the course with his family. “Always one of the best days of the year,” McIlroy captioned a video on Instagram following the event.
In 2024, commentators suggested McIlroy was not going to arrive in Augusta, Georgia, in time for the Par 3 Contest and that he was simply going to prepare for the Masters Tournament. However, it was later confirmed that McIlroy had arrived in Augusta with plenty of time to spare. In fact, he arrived one day before the event took place. Nevertheless, he didn’t participate. For the record, Rickie Fowler won the Par 3 in 2024 with his wife serving as his caddy. McIlroy’s golf game doesn’t seem impacted by his divorce; he won the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Golf and Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, on May 12. McIlroy won $3.6 million, adding to his surprising net worth of $150 million.
