Masters ticket application for 2026 tournament opens June 1 It's an annual tradition. Yes, we're talking about the Masters but we're also talking about entering the drawing to get Masters tickets. People do actually get drawn for this, so don't despair. The first day to apply is June 1 so if this event is on your sports bucket list, be sure to apply. How to apply for 2026 Masters tickets First, you need to create an account (it's free) at 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: Practice rounds (Monday, Tuesday): $100 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.

NFL icon leaves Scottie Scheffler horrified with golf shot
A tee shot from NFL icon Peyton Manning left PGA star Scottie Scheffler horrified after it left the course and hit a house around 7 a.m. local time at the Memorial Tournament Pro-Am. Manning is not an official competitor at the Ohio tournament, but got a few shots in with the pros watching. The legendary quarterback gets a ton of momentum behind his driver, with the ball leaving the shot in an instant. The next moment has a loud bang ripple to the tee box with Manning immediately recognizing what happened. The camera pans to Scheffler, who is doubled over at the shot before standing back up shocked as what he witnessed. 'Good morning sir,' Scheffler said in reaction to the ball slamming into the house. 'That's too much'. The audio did not include anything resembling broken windows, with any damage to the home just beyond the course unclear. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sam (@samsteetalk) Scheffler is competing in Dublin two weeks after winning the PGA Championship, a victory that should help him maintain his status as the No 1 golfer in the world for a bit longer. Manning himself has been involved in several celebrity golf tournaments, and is an avid player to the point where is a member of Augusta National Golf Club. Beyond holding The Masters, becoming a member at Augusta National is invite-only and is extremely exclusive, with the club's membership totaling around 300, per the Sports Business Journal.

Nicklaus surprised by McIlroy skipping his PGA Memorial event
Jack Nicklaus said Tuesday that he was surprised Masters winner Rory McIlroy did not tell him in advance that he was not playing in this week's Nicklaus-hosted PGA Memorial tournament. Nicklaus, an 18-time major winner, predicted McIlroy's triumph last month at Augusta National after hitting his own ceremonial opening tee shot. Nicklaus said he has not heard from McIlroy since the Northern Ireland star captured his fifth major title and first Masters to complete a career Grand Slam. McIlroy will miss the Memorial for the first time since 2017, instead playing next week's Canadian Open as his tune-up for the following week's US Open at Oakmont. "I didn't have a conversation with him, no," Nicklaus said, calling that "a little bit" of a surprise. "It surprised me. But guys have got schedules and got things they do. And I haven't talked to him for him to tell me why or why not. It's just his call," Nicklaus said. "I made a lot of calls that I had to make when I played to play or not play... sometimes you have to make those calls. "I don't hold anything against Rory for that. I know he likes to play so many in a row. He likes to play the week before a US Open. And so that's what he's doing. "I mean, I'm a big Rory fan, I always have been. I'm sure that I will remain that way. I just, I was a little surprised, yes." Nicklaus said he had no problem about McIlroy not giving him advance warning about his absence. "I'm not going to throw Rory under the bus. I like Rory too much," said Nicklaus. "He's got to make his own calls on things. Could he have done 'em differently? Probably. But that's all right. I probably could have done some of mine differently too. So I'm not complaining about Rory." Nicklaus said he sent McIlroy a congratulatory letter shortly after the Masters victory last month. "I told him I don't think anybody has won by having four double bogeys," Nicklaus said. "And I said, 'But that just showed me how much talent you have to overcome that to win and how you played some unbelievably spectacular shots. "I was very happy for him. It was a great win." js/sla
