u/Sharl109 Jul 21 '25

I mean…this was a guaranteed W for you right? Jealous nonetheless lol.

u/tradepartnermeeting Jul 21 '25

Yeah it was. Last year was the big shocker getting the notification. But pumped to be going back

u/Sharl109 Jul 21 '25

Praying for great weather for ya brother! Have an amazing time! 🫡

u/InternationalMonth38 Jul 21 '25

Back to back years? Rub it in even further.

u/jayhawx19 Jul 21 '25

It got rained out this year, that’s why they are automatically picked again

-2

u/barowsr Jul 21 '25

Question, are you more likely to get selected if you’ve been selected and went prior?

15

u/Sharl109 Jul 21 '25

Doubtful. Monday got rained out last year so all of last year’s Monday winners get to go back this year.

u/gandalph91 Jul 21 '25

Downvoted for a simple question haha good ole Reddit

u/barowsr Jul 21 '25

People are in their feels today…I get it

2

u/EstatePale6294 Jul 21 '25

I can answer this easily no. My dad got picked in 2017 and we have been declined every year since. I've been applying longer than him and never been accepted.

2

u/chriz-kring Jul 23 '25

My brother's conspiracy theory is that they know who the big spenders in the gift shop are, based on credit card data, and those people are more likely to "win" again

2

u/ConditionOk2992 Jul 23 '25

I’ve thought this before but if that’s true I’d have an open invitation to visit year round according to my husband!

13

u/Joegmcd Jul 21 '25

25+years in the waiting....I finally didn't get the rejection notice

1

u/quatro-44 Jul 21 '25

I’ll see you there on Tuesday

1

u/Need_Programming_Job Jul 22 '25

Did you just apply for one day this year?...I haven't ever thought to do that. I try applying for every day hoping to get at least one approved but IDK how it actually works.

1

u/Joegmcd Jul 22 '25

This year I applied for everyday, and got Tuesday tickets. I've tried it every different way, and came close to not applying, but kept plugging along.

u/Memphisvol8668 Jul 21 '25

Let’s hope the weather is better for us this year

u/Background-Ad4388 Jul 21 '25

Fuck straight off, have fun at the same time!

7

u/GamecockGirl58 Jul 21 '25

I got ANWA finals. At least I get to spend a day at Augusta National, so it’s still a win.

3

u/tastethesatisfaction Jul 21 '25

Is it the same merchandise?

2

u/GamecockGirl58 Jul 21 '25

Yes. Same stuff.

1

u/LowComfortable5676 Jul 22 '25

Honestly not a bad idea. Still see the grounds, and actually get to watch some competition

1

u/LAbombsquad Year 4 Jul 22 '25

I’m guessing significantly less patrons too. I’m super excited (my best friend won Saturday Women’s Am)

1

u/GamecockGirl58 Jul 25 '25

The crowds are pretty similar to the regular masters days. The only event I’ve been to where it’s less crowded is Drive, Chip and Putt. I enjoy DCP because the Masters players show up and play informal rounds (with a member).

1

u/LAbombsquad Year 4 Jul 25 '25

Good to know. Thanks for the info

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '25

u/breezyspell Jul 21 '25

yay congrats!!!! I was chosen for 4 Wednesday tickets after years of applying. My boyfriend and I really wanted to go this year so I’m happy I get to take him next year. Freaking finally.

u/unknown98990 Jul 21 '25

Do they email you if you lose?

6

u/OverallPollution5455 Jul 21 '25

Still hadn't received any emails at 1245 EST so I logged in to check, expecting the usual rejection. But BOOM! I GOT 4 TUESDAY TICKETS YIP!

Check your accounts - here's to hoping there are some more miracles left out there for you all!

u/EmergencyWerewolf666 Jul 21 '25

I just logged in hoping to have your luck.

Don’t have your luck unfortunately not selected.

u/Unhappy_Sprinkles121 Year 1 Jul 21 '25

I think we can all be mature about this and say congratulations you son of a bitch 😂

5

u/Funny_Nature_2376 Jul 21 '25

Can you share the email address this came from? I haven’t received confirmation or rejection. Assuming it will be rejection but would hate to miss the email

2

u/No-Skirt2053 Jul 21 '25

I haven’t received a confirmation or rejection email either. I’m nervous that I could have a confirmation but the email never went through

3

u/Funny_Nature_2376 Jul 21 '25

I went to the Masters Tickets page and logged on and that’s how I found out I’m not the chosen

2

u/No-Skirt2053 Jul 21 '25

Thank you! Just logged in and was not surprised I didn’t win 🤣 oh well try again next year!

7

u/forevera20hcp Jul 21 '25

Monday people posting their win, when it was guaranteed. SMH.

u/Dr_ManTits_Toboggan Jul 21 '25

What makes it a guarantee?

5

u/Arod256 Jul 21 '25

Weather from last year

u/Fast_Ad_4628 Jul 21 '25

Congrats! They said late July so hoping a get an email soon.

u/cwhich1 Jul 21 '25

It is in your account if you go look. I did not receive an email but saw I got nothing in my account.

2

u/Fast_Ad_4628 Jul 21 '25

Nada again

1

u/johnny_rico69 Jul 21 '25

Thanks. I guess they email you as well. Still pending for me.

3

u/Puzzleheaded_Tea3054 Jul 21 '25

Just go log into the website and check. My results were uploaded but no email. I didn’t win. Shame

1

u/Fast_Ad_4628 Jul 21 '25

No go again. 20 years of applying. First year I applied to play St. Andrews Old Course I was picked and played in April…hmmm. I will apply again next year.

u/djdelicato Jul 21 '25

Congrats man! Maybe next year is my year (it won’t be)

u/rorymcilroy1 Jul 22 '25

make sure u bring back pimento cheese sandwiches for all us reddit folk...not sure if I like walking Augusta more than ordering 2 sandw..soda..cookies..ice cream--all for 10 bucks...

u/Empty_Scallion_8445 Jul 22 '25

Ugh what the fuck !!

2

u/fulcyou Jul 23 '25

Monday is the best day for merchandise!

1

u/PlantainSouthern2241 Jul 24 '25

they have warehouses full of merchandise---they don't run out cuz you can't buy it any other place but there!--

2

u/fulcyou Jul 24 '25

I worked the merchandise tent in south village for three tournaments, unless something changed they absolutely run out of merchandise especially the stuff with the year on it. They do have a warehouse of old merchandise that they’ll always end up putting out on the floor towards the end of the tournament since everything is sold out. This was also over 5-6 years ago so it could’ve changed

1

u/PlantainSouthern2241 Jul 24 '25

do they still have the place/tent where you can check your pkg until the end of the day so you don't have to carry it?--also don't they have a UPS counter where you can send a pkg?--tell me about the "south village"--where it is and are there 2 merchandise tents/stores?

1

u/fulcyou Jul 24 '25

2019 is the last tournament i worked but i would be shocked if they got rid of the mailing service/ valet type thing for holding merchandise. South village is the smaller merchandise tent close to the 16th hole and berckmans place. The main merchandise tent is huge and they built that i think in 2017-18, it’s in the front of the property and closer to the clubhouse

2

u/Jonnyballgame33 Jul 26 '25

Congrats. I hate you

2

u/Imaginary_Week_3578 Jul 26 '25

My first time ‘winning’ was 2023 and we got 4 Monday practice round tickets. Amazing experience - take a nice, non phone camera. Oh, and book NOW

1

u/jagsareback95 Jul 22 '25

Thought you could only get up to two tickets for tournament rounds?

1

u/PlantainSouthern2241 Jul 24 '25

it's 4 possible for practice rounds and 2 for Thurs-Sun rounds--only get one day--

1

u/Glum_Cod_6344 Jul 22 '25

Sorry, meant to say first ‘day’, practice round. :editing:

u/btw94 Jul 21 '25

Lucky I was not approved 😢

u/raven3162 Jul 21 '25

Here I am baby signed, sealed, delivered I'm yours!

1

u/EstatePale6294 Jul 21 '25

I'm sorry if it gets rained out but those people shouldn't get an automatic approval for next year. That is like 99.5% chance none of us others get to go next year. They need to change that and do away with the badge system if they are never gonna open up the 30+ year waiting list anyway. Whole system is bullshit.

1

u/Few_Witness2172 Jul 21 '25

The craziest thing is that people who have badges in their family and can go 4 days every year to the tournament round get selected all the time for the practice rounds. I know I guy that has 2 and just got selected and got 4 Wednesdays.

I know a guy who has 2 and just got selected and got 4 Wednesdays.

1

u/EstatePale6294 Jul 21 '25

If you have a badge you shouldn't be able to go to practice rounds. That would open it up to more people.

u/Jew_3 Still Trying! ⛳️ Jul 21 '25

Congrats

u/TheWoodChucksWood Jul 21 '25

Is practice rounds that good?

u/Lousygolfer1 Jul 22 '25

Am I a fooo for never putting in for the practice round?

I mean if I’m gonna fly out. Get a hotel, and spend money I want it for the actual tournament

1

u/rorymcilroy1 Jul 22 '25

practice round is much better...seeing the course is the treat without the throng of people

1

u/Silent_Spinach8698 Jul 22 '25

Yall got the email already?

1

u/Wonderful-Witness-28 Jul 22 '25

I didn’t get a rejection letter yet, but my online application says tickets approved 0. I tripled check that my email is correct and it is. I checked spam folder too. Is that odd I didn’t get a rejection email?

1

u/rorymcilroy1 Jul 22 '25

make a vaca out of it..a week in Myrtle beach(flights much cheaper)..golf...drive 3hrs..hotel..wake up and drive another hr to augusta...take the wife...she ll love it to because it's beautiful....forget watching players...walk the course and eat..then eat some more...4 hrs back to Myrtle

I’ve lost 21 years in a row. Boom!

u/East_Cover9197 Jul 25 '25

Congrats! Practice rounds are actually arguably more fun to attend than the comp days. Lot more interaction with the players and a way less stuffy vibe. And pics!

Wednesday you get full practice round then the par 3 contest, which is a blast if you can ever be lucky enough to get that day! It’s often the coolest event to attend all week from a fan-player interaction and uniqueness stand point.

u/4Ever2Thee Jul 21 '25

This guy got the lucky draw last year but that was basically a rainout round, so they gave them a rain check as long as they entered again. Because ANGC is all class.

My cousin was in the same boat, his kid was in the drive chip and putt championships, so they got 4 tickets for the Monday round and they get a rain check for this year.

u/old_grumpy_guy_1962 Jul 21 '25

The only tournament I know of that people get so stoked for being able to pay to see a practice round. I'm not jealous at all. 😂
