Golf fans around the country nearly fainted this week when they saw a video of floodwaters damaging the grounds at Augusta National.
On Thursday, a video of a massive flood raging near Amen Corner went viral on social media. Although the 2026 Masters is so far away, the last thing people want is for Augusta National to suffer extensive damage.
According to GOLF.com, the video was actually taken earlier this summer. Initially, people thought it was from last September when Hurricane Helene leveled the South.
But a source close to Augusta National told GOLF.com that the flooding actually occurred earlier this summer, when intense rains hammered the Augusta area.
At the time, the source said, Amen Corner was under construction; off-season upgrades are common at the club, which traditionally closes in May, after the Masters, and doesn't reopen until the second Monday of October.
Thankfully, this flood isn't supposed to severely damage this iconic course.
"Any impact is really just aesthetic," a source close to Augusta National told GOLF.com. "Nothing they can't handle."
For what it's worth, Augusta National traditionally closes in May and reopens in early October. Besides, the city is prone to "flood-related problems," so it's not shocking to see this happen.
"Augusta has a history of disastrous floods, which led to the construction of the levee in the downtown area," the city's website states. "Due to the topography of the city, certain areas are prone to flood-related problems.' Just this past Sunday, heavy rain triggered flash-flood warnings in the Augusta area."
We're certainly glad that no one was harmed during this flood.Video Of Massive Flood At Augusta National Is Going Viral first appeared on The Spun on Jul 25, 2025
