Augusta National Offering A Select Number Of Masters Badges To Public

Augusta National Golf Club beginning next year “will make a limited number of Masters Tournament badges available to the public via its website.” Fans can submit ticket applications for both the tournament and practice rounds at Masters.com. The club is “moving all of its ticketing online, including ticket services for annual patrons.” The Masters traditionally is “one of the toughest tickets in sports, with a waiting list for patron badges dating back to 1971.” Only fans “on the club’s list are allowed to buy tournament-round badges each year” ( ESPN.com, 4/4 ).
