Augusta National is officially closed for Monday.
The club announced that it will not reopen for patrons due to inclement weather that hit the Augusta area around 11:25 Monday morning. Patrons who purchased Monday practice round tickets will be refunded their price of admission in May, Augusta National confirmed. They will also be guaranteed the opportunity to purchase 2026 practice round tickets. More information will be provided to those patrons.
"We are disappointed our patrons could not fully enjoy today’s practice round, but the safety of everyone at Augusta National is our highest priority and was the determining factor in the decision to cancel,” said Fred Ridley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament. “We look forward to welcoming back our Monday patrons next year, as well as celebrating a wonderful 89th Masters Tournament ahead of us this week.”
Fortunately for patrons, the remainder of Masters week is promising. Little rain and comfortable temperatures are in the forecast.
Tuesday: The second practice round is still looking like a much prettier one. Sunny skies with little-to-no clouds (let alone rain) are likely, but it won't be too hot, with temperatures sitting at about 50 degrees first thing in the morning and only rising to about 67 degrees in the late afternoon. Winds will be around 7 mph with 13 mph winds.
The Masters Tournament Par 3 Contest is Wednesday. It's looking like another lovely one with sunny skies and very little (if any) clouds. The morning might be a bit brisk with temperatures below 50 degrees before 10 a.m. warming to 66 degrees by the afternoon. Winds may be up to 9 mph with 16 mph gusts.
The Masters Tournament is Thursday through Sunday. Early reports indicated a very rainy Masters, but luckily, the forecasts have continued to improve as we get closer:
