Looking for last-minute tickets to the Masters? Good luck.
The Masters is one of the most exclusive sporting events in the country, both for the players and the ones who want to come watch them. Golf’s first major is set among one of the most gorgeous backdrops you’ll ever see, and the folks who run Augusta National Golf Club are very particular about who gets to walk down Magnolia Lane and around Amen Corner.
If you’re in the market for tickets to see if Rory McIlroy can finally complete the career slam this weekend, you’ll have to go to secondary markets. But be warned: The Masters does not accept tickets sold by anyone but themselves. So you might be better off waiting till the 2026 Masters … if you’re lucky.
