The Masters Tournament produced another storied finish this year, but the broadcast—available across multiple streaming platforms—was met with criticism after failing to show some of the most important shots.

To mitigate this faux pas, why not attend in person in 2027?

The Masters may be over for nearly a full calendar year, but an important few weeks are coming up in June that could determine fans’ chances of attending. The lottery for Masters tickets opens June 1 and closes June 20, with registration completed through the Masters website.

“It’s a surreal experience. You would have thought I had won a million dollars. I didn’t tell my brother for a few days and kept it a secret from most of my friends for a few months. There truly is no other experience like walking around on the property. If you get a chance to go, you should go,” recent Masters lottery winner Javier Arenado said.

Millions flock to the website each year to apply, and while only 1% or fewer applicants are selected, ticket prices remain relatively accessible, ranging from $100 to $160. There is no legitimate resale market for Masters tickets, and the tournament has taken significant steps to prevent resale websites from listing them.

Despite the risks, many still turn to third-party sellers hoping to profit from tickets. Listed prices during the 2026 Masters exceeded $10,000 for a weekend general admission pass. Sellers risk being blackballed from the tournament if caught violating the resale policy.

For many, the lottery brings a brief ray of hope before the nearly inevitable disappointment of rejection arrives months later. But for a select few, winning can be a life-changing experience for golf enthusiasts.
