The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club is the most exclusive and atmospheric major in golf — four days every April at a course so beautiful and so private that it feels like stepping into a dream, where the azaleas bloom, the leaderboard crackles with drama and the roars of the patrons echo through Georgia pines. There is nothing in sport quite like it.
The most exclusive ticket in golf — badges passed down through generations. Augusta airport is tiny — fly into Atlanta and drive. Local homestays are the accommodation norm.
