How to Go to the Masters in 2027: Tickets, Hospitality Packages and What It's Really Like
Quick question.
Is there a golfer in your life who has "go to the Masters" on their bucket list? (If you're married to one, you already know the answer.)
The 2027 Masters is April 8-11 at Augusta National, with practice rounds starting Monday, April 5.
April feels far away.
It isn't. Not for this one.
Why You Can't Wait to Plan the Masters
Here's the honest part.
Getting into the Masters is famously hard.
Augusta National sells tickets through a lottery, and the lottery for 2027 already happened back in the summer. If you didn't win, you're not alone. Most people don't.
Can You Still Get Masters Tickets for 2027?
Yes, but the realistic way in now is a hospitality package: tickets, a place to stay and transportation, put together by a hospitality company.
And those get snapped up early.
So does every hotel room and rental home within driving distance of Augusta. The whole town fills up for that one week.
A Word of Caution About Masters Tickets
This is where people get burned.
Augusta National is very strict about tickets, and badges bought through the wrong channels can be refused at the gate.
So please, please don't buy from a random website because the price looks good.
This is exactly the kind of trip where it pays to have someone in your corner who knows which companies are reputable and what's actually included.
What It's Actually Like at the Masters
I went in 2025 for my fourth time, and here are a few things that surprise first-timers.
No cell phones on the course. None. It's strangely wonderful.
The famous pimento cheese sandwiches are cheap and iconic. You will eat more than one. My personal favorite is actually the egg salad sandwich with some hot sauce. Yum!
And seeing the course in person, with the azaleas in bloom? Trust me, the TV doesn't do it justice.
(If you want the full day, here's my post on a day at the Masters.)
Which Day Should You Go to the Masters?
The practice rounds and Wednesday's Par 3 Contest are often the most relaxed (and fun) days to go, and the gift shop has the best selection!
A Masters Trip Is the Ultimate Gift
Wrapping a Masters trip under the tree? Easily the best gift of the year. Just saying.
