Golf fans dreaming of a trip to Augusta National in 2026, take note: the Masters tickets lottery is now open, but the process comes with new twists and a price hike that has everyone talking.
The application window for 2026 Masters tickets runs from June through June. To enter, you must create or log in to an account at the official Masters website and complete the ticket application for your preferred days. Applicants can request up to four tickets for practice rounds (Monday–Wednesday) and two for each tournament round (Thursday–Sunday), but only one day can be won per applicant.
Prices have increased for 2026: practice round tickets are $125 for Monday, $150 for Tuesday and Wednesday, and $160 for each tournament round—a $20 jump from last year If selected, winners will be notified in July and must pay for their tickets later that month.
The odds are steep. With millions of hopefuls and only about,000 tickets available per year, the Masters lottery is famously tough to win. Many applicants try for years without success, so maximizing your ticket requests is common advice among veterans.
Augusta National strictly prohibits reselling tickets. Only tickets purchased directly through the official lottery are valid, and those caught with tickets from unauthorized sources risk being denied entry.
The 2026 Masters promises another unforgettable week of golf, but for most fans, the suspense starts now—with a lottery application and a long wait to see if the dream of walking Augusta’s hallowed grounds will finally come true.
