For the 2026 tournament, tickets for the three practice round days—Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday—are available to the public, while tickets for the daily rounds of the tournament on Thursday through Sunday are accessible with certain restrictions.

Ticket prices for the practice rounds have risen, costing $125 for Monday and Tuesday, while tickets for Wednesday’s practice round are priced at $150. Applicants seeking tickets can request up to four tickets per day for practice rounds and a maximum of two tickets per day for the daily tournament rounds. However, it is important to note that selected applicants can only win tickets for one day, regardless of how many days they request tickets for.
Successful applicants can expect to receive notification via email in late July 2025 regarding their ticket status. The anticipation for the 2026 Masters Tournament continues to grow as fans prepare for this iconic event, scheduled to take place from April 6 to April 12, 2026.
