Masters Ticket Lottery
If attending golf’s most legendary event at Augusta National is a dream of yours, now is the time to try. The ticket application for the 2026 Masters Tournament opened on June 1, giving golf fans across the country a chance to obtain some of the most coveted tickets in the sporting world. But you’ll need to move quickly.
The 2026 Masters ticket lottery is held entirely online through Masters.com. Applications must be submitted by June 20. Tickets are distributed by a random draw, so everyone has an equal opportunity—whether it’s your first time entering or your tenth. Successful applicants will be informed in late July, with payment expected soon after.
How to Enter the 2026 Masters Ticket Lottery
To participate, simply sign up for a free account on Masters.com. If you already have an account from previous years, you don’t need to create a new one. Once logged in, you can fill out your application and select the days you want to attend.
You may request:
- Up to four tickets for the practice rounds (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)
- Up to two tickets for each tournament day (Thursday through Sunday)
Keep in mind, if you win, you will be awarded tickets for just one day, so pick carefully. Multiple applications, using student or business addresses, or applying on behalf of others are strictly forbidden and can lead to disqualification.
Masters 2026 Ticket Prices (Yes, They’ve Gone Up)
Ticket prices for the 2026 Masters have increased compared to last year:
- Practice Rounds (Mon/Tues): $125 (previously $100)
- Par 3 Contest (Wednesday): $150 (previously $100)
- Tournament Days (Thurs–Sun): $160 per day (previously $140)
Although still relatively affordable compared to many other major sports events, the demand for tickets is extremely high, often driving up resale prices. However, resale is prohibited by Augusta National, and tickets bought from unauthorized sellers do not guarantee entry. The only official source remains the Masters Tournament.
When Is the 2026 Masters?
The 2026 Masters will be held from April 9 through April 12, with practice rounds starting April 6 at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. This is unique as it is the only major tournament played annually on the same course.
Extra Notes for Applicants and Attendees
- Children are welcome but must have their own ticket.
- Cameras are permitted only during practice rounds (Monday to Wednesday).
- Phones are banned every day of the tournament, including practice days.
