The first round of the 2025 Masters Tournament will kick off at Augusta National golf course on Thursday, April 10, and patrons are eagerly looking forward to the event. However, the practice rounds started on Monday, April 7, had to be suspended due to the weather.
Every year, patrons gather at Augusta National to watch some of the best golfers in the world compete for The Masters title. The prestigious event was established in 1934 and is one of the four Majors in professional golf.
Following the suspension of the practice round, Augusta National officially put out an announcement saying that the golf club would no longer be open to patrons on Monday due to the inclement weather. The announcement read:
“Due to the inclement weather and current forecast, Augusta National Golf Club will not reopen to our patrons on Monday. Purchasers of Monday practice round tickets will be sent refunds in May and will be guaranteed the opportunity to purchase 2026 Monday practice round tickets. Further information will be included at the time of the refund.” (Via X)
The chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, Fred Riley, also extended his apologies for the untimely closure of the gates, saying that the safety of everyone remains a priority.
“We are disappointed our patrons could not fully enjoy today’s practice round, but the safety of everyone at Augusta National is our highest priority and was the determining factor in the decision to cancel. We look forward to welcoming back our Monday patrons next year, as well as celebrating a wonderful 89th Masters Tournament ahead of us this week,” Riley said. (Via X)
There are two more practice rounds scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. The main tournament will begin on April 10 and conclude on April 13.
