The 12th hole at Augusta National Golf Club, known for its difficulty during the Masters, is actually not the hardest. Over the past decade, from 2015 to 2024, it has been played at an average of 0.13 strokes above par across all four rounds, ranking it as the ninth-hardest hole. Surprisingly, the 11th hole takes the title of the most challenging, with players averaging 0.34 strokes over par during the same period. The 11th, a par four stretching 520 yards, offers fewer scoring opportunities due to its length. In contrast, the 12th hole provides a better chance for players to achieve par or even a birdie, particularly in the earlier rounds, if they manage to reach the green safely.
