A large crowd of people is gathered around a golf course, watching a golf tournament. The scene includes a green with a flagstick and sand bunkers, surrounded by tall pine trees. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day. Spectators are standing and sitting in various areas, with some seated in green chairs.

Looking for a chance at 2018 Masters Tournament Tickets? You came to the right place!

Welcome to The 2018 Masters! The famed golf tournament is held in Augusta, Georgia every April and is always a spectacle, whether you are a golf fan or not! While spectator’s tickets are not expensive, they are very difficult to come by…While the tournament doesn’t commence util April of 2018, now is the time that you need to be applying for tickets via the Masters lottery! Unless you are very wealthy, or very well connected (or both), then your ticket opportunities to view the Masters are limited, however, you still have a chance through the annual Masters Lottery!

Not only are lottery tickets available to view the actual tournament that runs Thursday through Sunday, but tickets are also available to watch the golfers practice the course Monday through Wednesday leading up to the tournament!

Back in 2016, I was lucky to get my hands on some Tuesday Practice Round tickets via the random lottery and absolutely loved my day in Augusta!

The image shows a large crowd of people gathered around a golf course. The golf course is surrounded by tall trees, and the sky is clear and blue. The crowd appears to be watching a golf event, with many people standing and some sitting on the grass. There are sand bunkers and a well-maintained green area visible on the course.

For those of you interested in getting tickets for future years, I thought I would put together a little lottery how-to guide.

If you have access to Masters tickets through corporate sponsorship or perhaps friends in high places, then that route will give you a much better chance at tickets than the lottery. I have only been entering the lottery since 2013, so winning in 2016 gives me a win rate of 1 out of 5 – which ain’t too bad of odds!

  2. Got my entry in the other day. Had a look at some points options nearby to secure some rooms just in case. As expected most sold out but the Odd hampton inn was available on points.Was about to book and then noticed these were non-refundable standard rooms awards. BE AWARE!
