“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.
