The 2022 Masters Thursday pin sheet has been released for the first round, when we'll start the process to determine a new Masters champion. The Thursday hole locations at Augusta National aren't as well known as the traditional Sunday hole locations, and they can sometimes vary throughout the years.

Let's look at the hole locations (pin placements) as selected by the Masters Tournament Committee.

2022 Masters Thursday first round pin placements

Some things to note:

  • The hole location for the 1st hole will prove extremely difficult, with players leaving a difficult birdie putt to avoid going over the green.
  • The pin on the 3rd opens up a lot of potential trouble for players who are too aggressive with their approach shots.
  • The hole location on the 13th requires a player to take on all of Rae's Creek to make an eagle.
  • The hole location on No. 18 is going to be an all-or-nothing proposition for players who go attacking, having to come in with a fade or a bold, direct approach shot.
