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.

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.

EVANS, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Multiple areas of Columbia County are reporting flash flooding Monday evening with more rain on the way.
Viewer video shows significant water on William Few Parkway near Windmill Plantation Neighborhood Park in Evans.
One resident said the flooding near West Lake Country Club swallowed their yard entirely — “Lost our dog fence to our new river,” they said.
Flooding has also been reported on Fury’s Ferry Road.
A stalled front parked over the region is bringing excess moisture and slow-moving storms, creating an elevated flooding threat — especially in areas already prone to flooding.
Steady rain and thunderstorms are expected to continue throughout the evening.
Drivers are urged to use caution and avoid flooded roadways. Turn around, don’t drown.

AUGUSTA, Ga (WJBF)- A new Georgia law that took effect this month is aimed at helping drivers and passengers with autism during traffic stops.
Rio’s Law, already active in South Carolina, provides a special license plate for drivers and extra training for law enforcement with the goal of making traffic stops involving people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) smoother.
“Our deputies deal with hundreds and hundreds of people every single day. And that’s face to face contact,” said Major Andy Shedd, Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.
Rio’s Law went into effect in Georgia on July 1st.
According to Major Shedd, since 2025, law enforcement officers across the Peach State have been training on how to interact with people with ASD, which the new law will expand.
“And it’s also been embedded in our community oriented policing training that we take online. And the beauty of that is some of the far reaching agencies in Georgia, some of the more rural police officers and deputies that that work in the rural areas, the online training gives them that format to where they can receive it also.”
Rio’s Law was created when a mother in California was pulled over for a traffic stop with her autistic son as a passenger. The officer wasn’t well versed in how people with ASD can react to stressful situations.
“They have reactions to specific types of sensories, whether they’re sound or lights or patterns that that can trigger some uncomfortable feelings, especially for people who are neurodivergent or living with things like autism,” explained Dr. Vijay Nagpol, a physician at ER Doctors Hospital Evans.
More noteworthy than the additional training is the access to a special license plate.
“That way, if law enforcement deals with you in the form of a traffic stop or a traffic accident, the deputy knows as soon as he sees that tag that he’s dealing with someone within the vehicle, either driver or passenger that may have autism,” Major Shedd explained.
This knowledge will allow the officers to use tools from training to keep the situation from escalating or to de-escalate if the person is already extremely upset.
“It may be hard for them to react in a way that would be expected from the police who are pulling them over law enforcement. They may have trouble focusing on the task at hand, which is conversing and cooperating with law enforcement,” said Dr. Nagpol.
Experts say that when law enforcement interacts with someone with ASD, awareness and education are key to keeping everyone calm.
“I think it all boils down to communication. The deputy should have good communication with whatever this person is going through,” said Major Shedd.
“I think it’ll be great once it’s rolled out is definitely going to take some training and awareness on the side of law enforcement,” said Dr. Nagpol. “But I know it’ll be something that’s relieving to people who are living with autism and also their loved ones.”
