Augusta National, home of the Masters Tournament, has lengthened its iconic golf course by 10 yards.

On Monday, the Georgia golf club published its 2024 media guide for the season’s first major, and the only change apparently was the tee box on the par-5 2nd hole being moved back some 10 yards and to the left.

Known as Pink Dogwood, this brings the par 5’s distance to 585 yards and remains the longest on the course. It ranked as the easiest hole in 2023 (4.637 scoring average) when Jon Rahm captured his first green jacket. It is traditionally one of the easiest holes on the historic track.
