Players invite their wives, girlfriends and children to join them on the course as the excitement builds up for the upcoming weekend.

Family members serve as caddies at Augusta National, with Watson's daughter carrying his clubs for the day.

And with Bubba highly-regarded as one of the world's top golfers, it's clear to see that his skills run in the family.

When tasked with sinking the putt, Dakota expertly nudged it down the putting green and waited in anticipation as it rolled towards the hole.

Soon enough, Dakota's shot found its target and she celebrated with her arms in the air, with the crowd also cheering in excitement.

Bubba, who appeared to film the shot on his phone, was quick to show his delight by giving his daughter a hug after her achievement.

He will be hoping to have similar success on the iconic course this weekend as he makes his 16th appearance at The Masters 2024.

The 45-year-old, who missed the cut last year, arrives as a two-time champion having won the Green Jacket in 2012 and 2014.
