2027 Masters Ticket Lottery Open: How to Apply Before June 20

Your Window to Augusta National Closes June 20

If you've ever dreamed of walking the hallowed grounds of Augusta National, this is your moment. The 2027 Masters ticket lottery opened today, and you've got until June 20 to throw your hat in the ring. I know this isn't exactly equipment talk, but getting to witness the best players in the world using the latest gear in person? That's something every golf enthusiast should experience at least once.

How the Application Process Works

Head over to the tickets page on Masters.com and either log into your existing account or create a new one. The interface is straightforward, but pay attention to the details — you don't want to miss out because of a simple oversight.

Practice Rounds vs. Tournament Rounds

Here's where the ticket limits come into play:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (Practice Rounds): Apply for up to four tickets per day
Thursday through Sunday (Tournament Rounds): Apply for up to two tickets per day

You can apply for every single day if you want, but here's the catch — if you're selected, you're only eligible to win tickets for one day, and Augusta National chooses which day that is. So don't plan your entire trip around winning multiple days. That's not how this works.

What You'll Pay If You Win

The pricing structure remains unchanged from 2026:

Monday and Tuesday practice rounds: $125 per ticket
Wednesday practice round: $150 per ticket (includes the Par-3 Contest)
Tournament rounds (Thursday–Sunday): $160 per ticket

Honestly, for what you're getting, these prices are remarkably reasonable compared to what you'd pay on the secondary market — if those tickets even get you through the gate (more on that in a second).

The Waiting Game

After submitting your application, there's nothing left to do but wait. Lottery results — both winners and losers — typically get announced in July. If you're selected, you'll receive a prompt to pay online at that time. Don't ignore that email. Seriously.

A Word on Third-Party Tickets

I've heard horror stories from golfers who thought they'd outsmart the system by buying tickets from resellers. Let me be clear: Augusta National explicitly states they are the only authorized source for Masters tickets. Resale is strictly prohibited, and people who show up with third-party tickets have been turned away at the gate. Imagine flying to Georgia, booking a hotel, only to be denied entry because your tickets weren't legitimate. It's not worth the risk.

Quick Takeaway

The 2027 Masters ticket lottery represents your best legitimate shot at experiencing one of golf's most iconic events. Apply before June 20, select your preferred days knowing you can only win one, and avoid the temptation of third-party sellers. Whether you're there to see the latest driver technology in action off Magnolia Lane or just want to witness Amen Corner in person, getting tickets through the official lottery is the only smart play.
