The nice weather starts even earlier in the week, which is a welcome sight for the tournament’s golfers and fans with tickets to attend the Masters this year. Previous years’ participants and attendees have had worse luck.

Rainy weather last year prevented fans from attending the practice round on the Monday prior to the tournament. A year before that, inclement weather forced a delay, so the first tee times at the 2024 Masters were pushed back a couple of hours. The delay also meant 27 golfers did not finish their first rounds on Thursday and had to complete their initial 18 holes the following day.
