TRIVIA ANSWER

The answer is C. The Masters Tournament

The Masters Tournament is one of the four major championships in professional golf and is held every year during the first full week of April at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA. It is unique because it is always played at the same location, unlike other major golf tournaments. The Masters is known for its iconic traditions, such as awarding the green jacket to the winner, and its picturesque course featuring blooming azaleas and dogwood.

That’s a wrap!
