Getting a ticket to Augusta National for the Masters is like winning the lottery! As many patrons will often tell you, tickets for the Green Jacket event are very difficult to purchase. As soon as the windows open, thousands, if not millions, of patrons jump in to book their tickets for the tournament. Only a small percentage make it through to watch the best play in the historic event. The privilege! However, there are other ways patrons made their way into the club.
So, apart from the authorized channels, there are quite a few unverified businesses that sell tickets to the course. Every April, the course officials always catch a bunch of patrons who use forged tickets to get into Augusta National. The same happened for Rory McIlroy’s win this year. Interestingly, the course officials have reported that hundreds of them were caught sneaking into the course. And they have paid the consequences of the same.
Front Office Sports tweeted, “Hundreds of Masters ticket holders were pulled aside by Augusta National reps and questioned about where they bought their tickets—and many even had their passes canceled. The course cracked down harder this year on third-party ticket sales than it had in years past.” This happened just hours before Rory McIlroy wore his Green Jacket in the final round of the 2025 Masters Tournament.
