Prices, odds, what to know about lottery

One of the most prestigious events in golf is set to take place. Is there anyway to be there for it?

The 2025 Masters tees off this week as the golf world sets its eyes on Augusta, Georgia and the chase for the green jacket. Aside from the history, one of the things that makes the Masters a legendary event is the famed Augusta National Golf Club with its pristine setting and gorgeous views during the tournament. While playing in the Masters is one of the biggest honors in golf, being able to attend it as a spectator is an ultimate bucket list item for sport fans.

With the action starting soon, here’s what to know on trying to get to the 2025 Masters:

Can you get 2025 Masters tickets?

Through the Masters, no. The tournament only sells tickets through its lottery system. Applications closed months ago and tickets already have been awarded. The only way to get tickets to the 2025 Masters is through the secondary market. However, it’s not technically allowed.

Augusta National is the only authorized source for Masters tickets and says the resale of any ticket are strictly prohibited. If someone acquires tickets from another source, it could result in exclusion from the tournament.

If you’re willing to risk it on the secondary market, be prepared to spend thousands of dollars, even for single day tickets. On StubHub, tickets for the first round are more than $6,000.

How to get Masters tickets

Aside from risking it on the secondary market, the best and cheapest way to get Masters tickets is through its lottery system. The process is done on the Masters website. Interested people fill out an application and are able to request what tickets they want for a certain period of time. After the application window closes, Augusta National does a lottery to award tickets, and applicants are notified if they are selected or not.

Applications are done on the Masters website and the window to apply is done nearly a year in advance. The 2025 application window is closed.
