Stanley Druckenmiller, one of the best-performing hedge-fund managers of the past three decades and an avid golfer, is among those who gave a total of $6.8 million to the Masters Tournament Foundation in 2011.

Druckenmiller, who shut down his hedge fund, Duquesne Capital Management LLC, in 2010 after averaging annual returns of 30 percent since 1986, gave $100,000 to the foundation, which was created two years ago to fund global golf initiatives by the private Augusta, Georgia, club where the Masters Tournament, the first major championship of the golf season, begins on April 11.
