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.

The City of Augusta on Friday night announced the boil water advisory was lifted for residents and businesses.
The Augusta Utilities Department lifted the boil water advisory, issued on Monday, noting comprehensive water testing confirmed the tap water meets all regulatory standards and is safe for human consumption, according to a news release.
Affected customers no longer need to boil water for drinking, cooking or making ice – but should flush their lines by opening the cold water faucet and letting the water run for two minutes, according to the release.
“We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience,” officials wrote in the release.
How Augustans coped without water
Many Augusta residents had to find alternative methods of gathering water in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Last week, reporters with The Chronicle watched as Ricardo Ramirez collected water in a trash bag from a street gutter on Aumond Road.
“This is the only way we can [get water], unless we go to the river, but that is too far away,” Ramirez said.
He explained that he was using the water to flush the toilet, but was walking to a nearby creek to bathe.
Aside from being out of water, a large tree crashed through the ceiling of his AirBnB, causing extensive interior damage.
“Our road was completely full of trees – everywhere,” Ramirez said. “A friend [who was in the house] was standing so close to where the tree came through the house, he almost died.”
He added it was difficult to get anywhere because his truck was blocked my fallen trees in his yard, and Augustans were hesitant to give him a ride to the grocery store to get drinking water.
“The Publix is open so we walked all the way there carrying our bags,” Ramirez said. “In Mexico, a lot of people offer [rides to others]. Not here. We are completely on our own.”
Anyone with questions or concerns about the lifted water advisory should contact 311 using the mobile app.

Helene live updates from Augusta: Meet ‘Storm,’ an Augusta puppy growing up in the dark
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Two people died overnight in Richmond County in unrelated shootings – Augusta’s second and third homicides since Hurricane Helene struck the city a little over a week ago.
The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to the parking lot of El Presidente, located at 2 Eighth Street, in reference to a shooting at 7:54 p.m.
Deputies say upon arrival, they located a male who had been shot at least one time.
The victim succumbed to his injuries.
Arthur Braxton, 32, of Aiken, was pronounced dead at 8:45 p.m. on the scene, according to the Richmond County Coroner’s Office.
Deputies say a subject has been detained.
The second shooting happened at Oakview Place Apartments.
At 3:03 a.m. Saturday, the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shooting at the 3500 block of Oakview Place.
Stephon Jones, 22, who lives at the complex, was shot at least once.
Jones was pronounced dead at 4:10 a.m. Saturday.
The two shootings are unrelated, according to the Richmond Coroner’s Office.
Autopsies have been scheduled for both victims.
The shootings are Augusta’s second and third homicides since Helene.
Last Saturday, a male victim was fatally shot in the chest at 10th and Florence streets.
The shootings come amid an outbreak of violent crime that’s claimed more than 180 lives in two and a half years across the CSRA.
The crime outbreak has affected communities large and small, but as the biggest city in the region, Augusta has been hit especially hard.
Authorities have blamed much of the problem on gangs.
