The 2018 Masters Tournament has a new champion, and his name isn’t Tiger Woods.

The Midnight Golf Program, affectionately known as “MGP,” is a selective, golf-centered program that was founded by Reneé Fluker. The program is based in Detroit, and only high school seniors in the area are eligible for the prestigious program.
