Augusta National Golf Club announced on Tuesday that it plans to allow a limited number of patrons in the gates for the 2021 Masters "provided it can be done safely." This comes the heels of the rescheduled 2020 Masters (played in November) only including players, club members, media and a minuscule number of player guests.
The Masters has the unique distinction of being both the last major played in 2020 and the first major played in 2021 as the 85th edition of the event is just three months away, even though it feels like Dustin Johnson put the finishing touches on his second major championship just a few days ago.
"Following the successful conduct of the Masters Tournament last November with only essential personnel, we are confident in our ability to responsibly invite a limited number of patrons to Augusta National in April," chairman Fred Ridley said in a statement.
"As with the November Masters, we will implement practices and policies that will protect the health and safety of everyone in attendance. Nothing is, or will be, more important than the well-being of all involved. While we are disappointed that we will be unable to accommodate a full complement of patrons this year, we will continue our efforts to ensure that all who purchased tickets from Augusta National will have access in 2022, provided conditions improve."
The Augusta National Women's Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt event will be played as scheduled this year. The 2021 Masters starts on April 8.
