How to apply for 2026 Masters tickets
First, you need to create an account (it's free) at Masters.com. If you already have an account (because you've been applying for tickets years to no avail; we get it) then you don't need to create a new one.
When does the application process begin?
Sunday, June 1, is go time. The application window is open for 20 days, plenty of time to get your name in the hopper. If you do get your name drawn, payment will be due in July.
What if I had Monday tickets last April when the course was closed by weather?
Patrons who were evacuated from the grounds out of an abundance of caution due to inclement weather on the Monday of the 2025 tournament have a guarantee they can purchase Monday tickets for 2026. All fans who had tickets that day were issued refunds.
Can I pick which day in 2026 I want tickets for?
Yes. The online application process allows prospective patrons the option to choose up to four tickets for all seven days of the tournament but you will only be selected for one of those days.
How much are Masters tickets?
The prices for 2026 haven't been posted yet but here's what the individual days cost in 2025:

Par 3 Contest (Wednesday): $100
First round (Thursday): $140
Second round (Friday): $140
Third round (Saturday): $140
Final round (Sunday): $140
Can I bring a camera to the Masters?
Monday and Tuesday are practice rounds and Wednesday is the Par 3 Contest. Those are great tickets to get picked for because you can bring you camera to the golf course and take all the pictures you want on those three days. The four tournament rounds (Thursday through Sunday) have a strict ban against patrons bringing cameras on property.
Can I bring my phone to the Masters?
Phones are not allowed at all at Augusta National Golf Club. If you get to the gate with your phone, you're going to be instructed to go back and leave it in your car. And it's not just phones that aren't allowed. From the Masters website:
The use of such devices for phone calls, emails, text message and other photo, video or data recording and/or transmission is prohibited.

The official website has a complete list of items not allowed.
Can I sell my Masters tickets?
It is not only not recommended, it's not allowed. According to Augusta National Golf Club's official website:
As a reminder, Augusta National, Inc. is the only authorized source/seller of Masters® Tickets. The resale of any Masters Ticket is strictly prohibited. Holders of Tickets acquired from third parties, by whatever means, may be excluded from attendance to the Tournament.
There were reports of a crackdown on ticket reselling at the 2025 tournament.
Can I buy tickets on the secondary market for the Masters?
You can, yes. It's a free country, as they say. But, tickets purchased on the secondary market may not get you through the gates, so, as always, buyer beware.

Rory McIlroy Issues Clear Message on What PGA Tour Must Learn From LIV Golf
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After years of resistance, Rory McIlroy is finally leaning into the idea that LIV Golf might have gotten a few things right. The five-time major winner, once the PGA Tour's loudest critic of the renegade league, has softened his stance in recent months. From joking around with Bryson DeChambeau on the set of "Happy Gilmore 2" to openly admitting he and others should have been "more open-minded" about the PGA-LIV merger, McIlroy is now urging the PGA Tour to take notes from LIV's playbook, especially when it comes to attracting younger fans. AUGUSTA, GEORGIA - APRIL 11: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland watches his second shot on the 18th hole during the second round of the 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 11,... AUGUSTA, GEORGIA - APRIL 11: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland watches his second shot on the 18th hole during the second round of the 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 11, 2025 in Augusta, Georgia. (Photo by) More Getty Images "I think tapping into a different demographic. You know, if you talk about being a golf purist and a traditionalist, and I think that's the PGA Tour appeals to that type of golf fan," McIlroy stated on the "How Leaders Lead with David Novak" podcast. "Where LIV (Golf) appeals to a completely different demographic ... the average age of a golfer in the United States is over 60 years old. So, how can you tap into this younger demographic where hopefully they're gonna hopefully gonna watch golf for, you know, the remainder of their life?" "So, being a little more forward-thinking and having a little more vision, I think it is something that LIV (Golf) has done pretty well," McIlroy commented during his interview posted on YouTube last week. McIlroy's comments come at a time when the PGA Tour is still the most-watched golf platform globally, but LIV Golf has made undeniable waves. Though LIV Golf stopped reporting its TV ratings, claiming it has made it challenging to determine its current viewership situation. But the comparisons with the PGA Tour show a significant gap. According to reports from the PGA Tour averaged 3.1 million viewers on CBS/NBC during head-to-head Sundays in May, while LIV pulled in just 175,000 on FOX/FS1/FS2. Even during LIV's best weekend, Miami in April, reports suggest the league's 484K viewers were dwarfed by the PGA Tour's 1.7 million for the Valero Texas Open. Still, McIlroy believes the disruption was a necessary wake-up call for the PGA Tour. "They've definitely been a disruptor in the game of golf, he told Novak as quoted. "Sometimes things need a shakeup and if anything, I think it was a bit of a wake-up call for the PGA Tour to maybe focus a little bit more on the future." He didn't shy away from criticizing LIV Golf's format, calling out the 54-hole structure, shotgun starts and team element, that he thinks still needs But at the same time, acknowledged that the league had to launch with an imperfect product. McIlroy's broader message was clear that the PGA Tour must evolve or risk losing relevance. "There are so many inbuilt advantages that the PGA Tour has over LIV (Golf) ... But at the end of the day, all of that stuff goes away -- the sponsorship deals and media rights -- if people aren't willing to watch and engage with the product you're putting out there." And while he reaffirmed the PGA Tour's dominance, he also highlighted the growing desire among fans to see the best players compete together again. "A lot of people that I talk to are outside of the golf world that just enjoy watch golf, would much rather all the best players be together again," the grand slam winner stated in the podcast released after his Open Championship battle in Scotland. That sentiment is echoed by new PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp, who took office on July. Rolapp, a former NFL executive, has already emphasized the importance of "growing the Tour" and "moving on from a position of strength". His relationship with LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil, dating back to their time at Harvard Business School, could be key in navigating future unification talks. As McIlroy put it, "We just need to see the bigger picture and try to do what's best for the game of golf." And with both sides inching toward common ground, that picture might finally be coming into focus. More Golf: PGA Tour pro goes unrecognized in 'undercover' club fitting video

Sean Payton: Dre Greenlaw plays like Mike Tyson
Linebacker Dre Greenlaw made the most of the first day in pads at Broncos training camp. Greenlaw filled gaps and delivered hits throughout team drills in Denver and head coach Sean Payton said you didn't even have to be watching to know that Greenlaw was the one landing blows. Payton said "you can hear it" when Greenlaw makes a hit and then went on to compare his style to another knockout artist from a different sport. "He plays like Mike Tyson," Payton said, via the team's website. "He's tough, he's physical. He's built that way. There's not a lot of leaky yardage. Some guys [allow that]. He's a knock-back tackler. They stop where he hits them. There's an intensity to how he plays. He's one of those players that if you put the film on and didn't say anything, at some point early, you'd ask, 'Who is this guy?'" Greenlaw was limited to two games for the 49ers last year because of injuries and a quad injury interrupted his first offseason in Denver, so one key for the Broncos will be making sure Greenlaw's healthy enough to deploy that physicality on a regular basis. If he is, facing an already tough Broncos defense will be even less enjoyable for opposing offenses in 2025.

Commanders put OL Nate Herbig on reserve/retired list
Veteran offensive lineman Nate Herbig is walking away from football. Herbig signed with the Commanders this offseason, but the team announced on Tuesday morning that he has been placed on the team's reserve/retired list. He will no longer count against the team's 90-man roster limit. Herbig spent the last two seasons with the Steelers, but did not play at all in 2024 after a rotator cuff injury. Herbig appeared in 17 games for the Steelers in 2023 and he started 11 games at guard for the Jets in 2022. The Eagles signed Herbig as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and he started 17 of the 33 games he played while with Philadelphia. Nick Allegretti and Chris Paul remain on hand as depth options at guard in Washington.
