Augusta National Golf Club announced Monday afternoon it was shutting down the day's access for patrons because of bad weather. In a 3 p.m. post on X, formerly Twitter, the club said via its Masters account fans would not be allowed back onto the property. A huge band of rain storms had soaked much of Georgia and South Carolina through the day, stretching up the eastern seaboard.
Monday’s practice round already had been suspended at 11:25 a.m. That followed Sunday night’s announcement that the gates would be closed to patrons on Monday morning, even though a temporary shift in the weather had led to a reversal of that decision and patrons being allowed through the gates for a spell on Monday.
Due to the inclement weather and current forecast, Augusta National Golf Club will not reopen to our patrons on Monday.
