Masters tickets 2024: How to buy, cheapest price, total cost for Augusta National golf tournament | Sporting News
“Hello, friends.”
Two of the most iconic words in sports broadcasting are now within earshot as Jim Nantz finishes up his football duties on the call for Super Bowl 58 and turns towards the rest of 2024. With the longtime CBS broadcaster stepping down from his college basketball duties following last year’s NCAA tournament, the next marquee event for Nantz is the Masters from April 11-14.
Augusta National is unlike any venue in golf. Located in Augusta, GA — approximately 150 miles east of Atlanta — Augusta National is perhaps the most prestigious and exclusive golf course in the world. It’s also one of golf’s hottest — and hard to find — tickets thanks to a limited capacity and lottery system. Known for its impeccable grounds (you won’t find nary an astray pine needle) and cheap concessions (most famously the best pimento cheese sandwich you’ll ever taste).
If you’re a golf fan, there’s no more sacred pilgrimage than to make the trek to Augusta National to catch a few rounds. Here’s how to do it.

Masters tickets 2024
One of the trickiest parts of scoring tickets for the Masters is navigating the lottery system and lucking out. Registration for this year’s tournament was open from June 1-20 with notifications for tickets going out in mid-July for both practice rounds, the Par 3 contest and each of the four tournament rounds.
With the lottery process long gone, your only hope is the secondary market. Though in high demand, tickets are still available to buy on StubHub.
You can purchase tickets for practice rounds and individual tournament rounds with both 2-Day and 4-Day passes for sale.
Cheapest tickets for each of the three practice rounds are going for just over $1,000 with individual day tournament passes starting between $2,000 and $2,500.
The 4-Day pass gets you access to all four of the tournament rounds on Thursday through Sunday with tickets ranging from $6,000 to $10,000. Of course, you don’t need to splurge to that degree to enjoy walking the majestic grounds.
Here are the different ticket options available on StubHub:
- Monday practice round
- Tuesday practice round
- Wednesday practice round
- Thursday tournament round
- Friday tournament round
- 2-Day Pass (Thursday-Friday)
- Saturday tournament round
- Sunday tournament round
- 2-Day Pass (Saturday-Sunday)
- 4-Day Pass
When is the Masters 2024? Full schedule and dates
Masters week officially begins on Monday, April 8. Practices are on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with all three days open to the public (with a ticket, of course!).
The first round begins Thursday, April 11 and runs through Sunday, April 14.
The Par-3 contest — a relaxed family-friendly event with family members often serving as caddies — will be held on Wednesday, April 10. Famously, no winner of the Par 3 contest has ever gone on to win the Masters in the same year.

Store employee fatally shot in Augusta robbery; suspect arrested
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – One person was fatally shot in an armed robbery on Lumpkin Road, according to authorities, and a suspect has been arrested.
The victim was identified as 29-year-old Abdallah Rubeha of Augusta.
The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office said the incident happened at the Smoke Shop at 2303 Lumpkin Road around 9:30 p.m. Friday.
Deputies say they arrived to find Rubeha, an employee, had been shot at least once.
He was taken to Wellstar MCG Hospital, where he died at 7:35 a.m. Saturday, according to Richmond County Coroner Mark Bowen.
After the robbery, deputies were able to identify three suspects and their vehicle.
The vehicle was registered in Burke County, and Richmond County deputies reached out to the Burke County Sheriff’s Office with the information, according to officials.
Burke County deputies say they attempted a traffic stop at 11:25 p.m. Friday at Savannah Avenue and East 17th Street in Waynesboro.
Deputies in Burke County pursued the vehicle in a high-speed chase, which turned into a foot pursuit, officials say.
The driver, 22-year-old Terrance Walker, was arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime in Richmond County.
According to Burke County deputies, another person was in the passenger’s seat and is believed to be connected to the robbery.
Burke County deputies say they also found a black Taurus G2C 9 mm handgun believed to have been stolen during the armed robbery.
Walker faces additional charges in Richmond and Burke counties, including driving under the influence, according to jail bookings.
An autopsy has been scheduled for Rubeha.
The year is off to a deadly start in Augusta; this is already the third homicide of 2025.
The slayings come amid a nearly three-year outbreak of violent crime that’s claimed around 200 lives.
Communities large and small have been affected on both sides of the Savannah River, but as the region’s largest city, Augusta has been hit hard.
