I don't understand why they keep referring to it as the 79th Masters. Isn't it the 81st?

The Masters was first played (as the Augusta National Invitation Tournament) in 1934. The name was changed to "The Masters" in 1939. It has been played every year except for 1943. So how in the world do they get "79" out of this?

I can see counting it from 1939 instead of 1934 (though they've never done that before). But why are they apparently counting it from 1936?

Can anybody explain this to me?

I now it’s off limits for FR to use Wiki, but they show a 3 year hiatus during WW2.
