Gates closed for today

Due to today's inclement weather, the Augusta National Golf Club has announced the gates are closed for today. The club also said refunds of practice round tickets will be sent in May. Patrons will also be given the opportunity to purchase 2015 practice round tickets.

“We are disappointed that our patrons could not enjoy today’s practice round, however safety must be our first concern. We look forward to seeing these Patrons next year,” said Billy Payne, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament.

The last time gates did not open due to bad weather during a scheduled day was Monday, April 7, 2003.
