Can you smoke at The 2025 Masters?

Few events are as highly anticipated as the Masters Tournament, and another edition is set to begin on April 10. The competition is the first of the four Major Championship events that will be held this year.

The history of the Masters goes as far back as 1934, which is when the first event was held. That year, American professional golfer Horton Smith won the competition, and Craig Wood was the runner-up.

As always, the Masters has a unique standard to uphold, and as such, it enforces several strict rules that govern patrons' attendance. According to the Augusta Chronicle, patrons can smoke at the event if they want to. However, there is no further information provided about the particular types of cigars they are permitted to smoke.

Per the Augusta Chronicle, smoking is allowed at the event, but there is no information on the specific types of cigars that are allowed. Patrons who physically attend the event at Augusta can also drink alcohol because no rule stops them.

However, the only way to enjoy an alcoholic drink at the Masters is by buying one from the concession stands. Patrons can't under any circumstances carry their own food and drinks onto the premises.

Drinking alcohol is also allowed, but patrons can only purchase alcoholic drinks at the concession stands and must not go into the premises with food and drinks from outside. Anyone who fails to abide by these strict rules can be banned from the event.

Before the commencement of the main event on Thursday, there will be practice rounds from Monday to Wednesday, April 7, to Wednesday, April 9. Patrons who would like to take photographs at the practice rounds can do so, but only if they use a camera and not a cell phone. During the main event, no pictures will be allowed.

Binoculars are among the list of items that are allowed at the Masters because they can help patrons enjoy the event more and get better views. If needed, they can also carry their stools and chairs along with them to watch the competition. However, the stools and chairs they use have to be without arms and easily collapsible.

To get the most out of the Masters' experience, patrons are allowed to use binoculars to help them get a better view of the competition. They can also bring their personal chairs and stools along as long as they are armless and collapsible.
