One of the four major championships for men in professional golf, the Masters Tournament (often called just the Masters or the U.S. Masters outside of North America) is a professional golf competition. The Masters is the first major golf tournament of the year and is scheduled for the first full week of April. In contrast to other prominent tournaments, Augusta National Golf Club, a private golf course in Augusta, Georgia, is the go-to site for the Masters.

The Masters' popularity extends beyond its status as the first Major of the year and its renowned permanent location, Augusta National. It would be reasonable to believe that there is assigned seating during the Masters competition as well, given the abundance of customs, rituals, and rules observed during Masters week, but is this the case? Yes and no, then.

What is the seating plan for the Master Tournament 2024?

According to the Masters website, in order to enter the Augusta grounds, fans must always be dressed appropriately, including with shoes. Metal-spiked golf shoes are not allowed. As for the seating arrangement, each person is only permitted to use one chair or seat. Pointed-end chairs and seats, as well as foldable armchairs and stiff chairs, are not allowed. After the tournament ends and the gates are closed, any chair left on the property will be deemed abandoned.

Can you sit anywhere at the Masters?

It is both a yes and no. There are designated places available for seating. Within that designated area, you are allowed to sit anywhere! As mentioned above, each person can only use one chair or seat. Pointed-end chairs and seats, as well as foldable armchairs and stiff chairs, are not allowed.

Where are the best seats at Augusta National to watch the Masters?

In this case, there's no right or wrong response; Augusta National offers several excellent viewpoints, and of course, individual taste also matters. Our top picks for locations to observe the action are:

Hole 16: This striking green at the top of the course offers a tremendous risk-reward ratio for shots that carry it.

Hole 12: Amen Corner is exactly as spectacular as you might anticipate.

Hole 15: With excellent sightlines, the grandstand at Hole 15 is a crowd favourite.

Hole 13: Located halfway down the 13th hole, this world-famous hole is surrounded by thousands of vivid azaleas.

Hole 8: Views of much of Hole 8 and the first portion of Hole 9 are available behind the green on this hole.

The green of hole eighteen is the scene of some of the most famous Masters moments.
