Masters Caddies Can Buy Tickets For the First Time /

TUCSON, Ariz. - The caddie yard at the LIV Golf Tucson event was abuzz Thursday with news about the largesse of Augusta National.

It seems for the first time in the history of the Masters, the green jackets are going to allow the caddies to buy one ticket for the 2023 tournament.

The pricing is $300 for Monday-Wednesday practice round tickets and $450 for four tournament rounds, or a total of $750 for a badge for the entire week.

None of the caddies that will be working this year’s Masters were aware of this opportunity until they received an email.

The $750 may seem like a lot, but when tickets are perennially sold out and impossible to get unless buying them from a scalper, the offer is very welcome by the caddies.

One caddie who will be working at the Masters said in the past they could always ask their player for a ticket, but over time managers and others got involved in the process, making a simple request more complicated.

Now each caddie can offer a ticket to a family member or friend.
