How big is the ANWA? It has its own theme song

Augusta revealed on Monday that the inaugural women's amateur event would have its very own riff, much like the Masters
Augusta National tweeted a two-minute compilation video on Monday that explains the thought behind the melody that will become synonymous with this event in the coming years. The ANWA melody is decidedly more upbeat than the famous riff that plays throughout Masters coverage.
“Music will always set the backdrop for the emotion,” one musician says in the video. “Even more important than that is having a melody that if someone is not standing in front of a television set, they hear it and go, ‘Oh, I know that.’”
That describes the Masters theme perfectly, and one can assume that the ANWA theme will intertwine with its event in a similar way.
For one thing, there are deliberate touches that make the ANWA theme fit the tournament. Perhaps the best touch is that the strings section of the orchestra is entirely female, and those instruments drive the piece.
Have a listen:
A new theme for a new day.
