Held at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, the US Master is one of golf’s most sought-after spectator experiences. Attending in 2027, however, requires considerably more preparation than booking tickets to a typical sporting event. Official ticket applications are limited, demand greatly exceeds availability, and strict rules apply to ticket sales and tournament entry.
Travellers must also coordinate long-haul flights, accommodation and local transport well in advance. This guide explains the key steps for planning a smooth and memorable Masters journey.
When Is the 2027 Masters Tournament?
The 2027 Masters Tournament will take place at Augusta National Golf Club from Monday, 5 April to Sunday, 11 April 2027. The opening three days are practice rounds, giving patrons the opportunity to watch players prepare and explore the course in a more relaxed setting. Wednesday also features the popular Par 3 Contest. Competitive play begins on Thursday, with four tournament rounds leading to the final round and Green Jacket presentation on Sunday.
- Monday, 5 April: Practice round
- Tuesday, 6 April: Practice round
- Wednesday, 7 April: Practice round and Par 3 Contest
- Thursday, 8 April: First tournament round
- Friday, 9 April: Second tournament round
- Saturday, 10 April: Third tournament round
- Sunday, 11 April: Final tournament round and Green Jacket presentation
How Do You Get Tickets to the 2027 Masters?
Tickets were available through the official Masters application system from 1 to 20 June 2026. Applicants could request tickets for selected practice or tournament days, with demand expected to exceed availability. The Masters advised that applicants would be notified by email in late July once the selection process was completed.
Augusta National, Inc. states that it is the only authorised source and seller of Masters tickets, while ticket resale is strictly prohibited. Travellers should therefore be cautious of third-party websites, social media sellers or packages making unclear ticket guarantees, as independently acquired tickets may be cancelled or refused at entry.
Can You Still Attend After the 2027 Ticket Application Has Closed?
Once the official application window closed on 20 June 2026, travellers could no longer enter the primary ticket selection process for the 2027 Masters. Augusta National does not typically reopen applications, and the unauthorised resale of Masters tickets is prohibited.
Tickets purchased through private sellers or unapproved third-party websites may therefore carry a significant risk of cancellation or denied entry. Golfers who missed the deadline should instead enquire about legitimate professionally arranged travel programmes, possible waitlists or cancellations, or begin planning early for a future Masters year.
Which Day of the Masters Should You Attend?
Each day at Augusta National offers a different experience, so the right choice depends on whether you value photography, a relaxed atmosphere or the intensity of championship competition.
Monday – Tuesday Practice Rounds
Monday and Tuesday provide a more relaxed introduction to Augusta National, with players practising, testing course conditions and occasionally interacting more freely with patrons. Cameras are permitted during practice rounds, making these days particularly appealing to first-time visitors who want to capture their experience. However, there is no official tournament scoring.
Wednesday and the Par 3 Contest
Wednesday combines the final practice round with the traditional Par 3 Contest. The atmosphere is lively and family-friendly, with players often joined by relatives or friends as caddies. Photography is permitted, and the shorter-course event creates memorable moments, although the main tournament has not yet begun.
Thursday – Friday Tournament Rounds
Thursday marks the beginning of official competition, while Friday determines which players make the cut. These days allow patrons to see the full field competing under tournament pressure. The atmosphere is more focused than during practice rounds, and cameras are prohibited. Thursday is especially suitable for visitors who want to watch every player before the field is reduced.
Saturday – Sunday Championship Rounds
The weekend delivers the strongest competitive atmosphere as the leading players move into contention. Saturday often produces major changes on the leaderboard, while Sunday concludes with the final round and Green Jacket presentation. These days offer the greatest championship significance, but they may feel busier and provide fewer opportunities to see the entire field.
| Day | Atmosphere | Photography | Competition importance | Suitability for first-time visitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday and Tuesday | Relaxed and exploratory | Cameras permitted | Practice only | Excellent for exploring the course and taking photographs |
| Wednesday | Festive and family-friendly | Cameras permitted | Practice round and Par 3 Contest | Excellent for tradition, entertainment and memorable photographs |
| Thursday and Friday | Focused and competitive | Cameras prohibited | Opening rounds and the cut | Ideal for seeing the full field in tournament conditions |
| Saturday and Sunday | Intense and championship-focused | Cameras prohibited | Decisive rounds and final result | Best for visitors prioritising high-stakes competition |
