Winners get only one day. The deadline to enter the Masters ticket lottery is June 20, 2026. The application window opened June 1 and runs through June 20, with entries accepted only at masters.com for practice-round or daily tournament tickets at Augusta National Golf Club for April 5-11, 2027. Winners are chosen by random selection, and applicants will be notified by email after the draw. Series badges are not available through the public lottery.

Augusta National sells Masters tickets only through its annual application lottery, yet winners can be awarded only a single day.

How the lottery works

The process is simple on paper and strict in practice. Applicants may request tickets for any combination of days within the June 1 to June 20 window, but the club allocates seats by random selection and limits awards to one day per winner. Daily tournament tickets are awarded before practice-round tickets. That means an applicant who isn't selected for a tournament day but who also applied for practice rounds will be included in the subsequent selection for practice-round tickets.

The club sets limits on how many tickets applicants can request; the club's published rules govern permitted quantities and the allocation process.

Practice rounds are scheduled for Monday through Wednesday, April 5 through April 7, 2027, with the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday. Tournament rounds run Thursday through Sunday, April 8 through April 11, 2027. Augusta National remains both the venue and the organizer.

The Masters carried forward 2026 prices as the published reference when the application opened.

Mastheads

Separate lotteries for the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals also run June 1 through June 20.

Augusta National enforces a strict prohibition on resale. Tickets acquired through the lottery are intended to be used at face value; patrons who buy tickets from unauthorized sellers risk having their tickets revoked and being denied entry at the gate.

That rule applies across practice and tournament rounds and is a firm part of the club’s access policy.

Series badges, which provide multi-year access and are distributed through a separate internal process, remain fully subscribed and aren't offered through the public lottery. Patrons on the badge list were to receive an application email in early January, the club said when announcing the window. For everyone else, the only path to a single-day ticket or practice-round access is the June application.

The timeline is tight but predictable. Entries must be submitted online by June 20, 2026.

Augusta National completes its random selection and emails successful applicants and those not selected after the draw is completed. The event itself is set for April 5-11, 2027, giving winners and would-be buyers ample notice to plan travel if they secure a ticket.

For anyone seeking more than a single day, the public lottery isn't the route. Winners will receive just one day per selection, and the club’s published limits on requested quantities remain the governing rule for all applicants.
