Monday update at the Masters: Course closed for the day due to severe weather

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.
