Masters Tournament
2027

The Masters: Golf's Most Prestigious Championship

The Masters Tournament has been held annually at Augusta National Golf Club since 1934, making it one of the longest-running traditions in professional golf. Founded by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, the tournament was originally called the Augusta National Invitation Tournament before adopting its current name in 1939. Over nine decades, it has grown into the sport's most iconic event — a springtime ritual that signals the start of the major championship season and captivates millions of viewers around the world.

The 2027 edition marks another chapter in this storied history. Masters Week begins on Monday, April 5, with practice rounds that allow patrons to walk the course, watch players prepare, and soak in the atmosphere. Wednesday features the Par 3 Contest, a lighthearted tradition played on Augusta National's short course that often produces memorable moments — including occasional holes-in-one. The main event spans Thursday through Sunday, April 8-11, with 72 holes of stroke play that will crown a champion and award the coveted Green Jacket.

Augusta National Golf Club is located at 2604 Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia. The course was designed by Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones on the site of a former nursery, and its horticultural heritage is still evident in the azaleas, dogwoods, and towering loblolly pines that frame every hole. Each hole is named after a plant or tree found on the grounds — from Tea Olive (No. 1) to Holly (No. 18). The course plays 7,545 yards from the championship tees and features some of the most famous holes in golf, including the par-3 12th at Amen Corner, where the wind swirling over Rae's Creek has decided the fate of countless contenders.

Attending the Masters is unlike any other sporting experience. Augusta National limits the number of patrons on the grounds each day, creating an atmosphere that feels intimate despite the massive scale of the event. Concession prices are famously low — a tradition that reflects the club's commitment to the patron experience. The grounds are spotless, the volunteers are impeccably organized, and the sense of reverence for the game is palpable from the moment you walk through the gates.

Masters badges are extraordinarily difficult to obtain through the official lottery, and demand on the resale market is always intense. BigStub offers verified resale badges and tickets with no hidden fees, transparent pricing, and a full buyer guarantee backed by over two decades of trusted service. Whether you're planning for a practice round or Championship Sunday, BigStub is a reliable way to secure your place at Augusta.
