Golf tournaments are competitive events where players compete to complete a golf course in the fewest strokes. These tournaments can vary in size, from local club competitions to prestigious events like the Masters Tournament or the U.S. Open. Players often participate individually or in teams, and they may play in different formats, such as stroke play or match play. Tournaments are typically organized by golf associations or clubs and can attract both amateur and professional golfers. Participants often earn points or prizes based on their performance, and the events can be held over one or multiple days, showcasing the skills and strategies of the players involved.
