About Masters Tournament 2027
The 91st Masters Tournament is played April 8 to 11, 2027, at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, opening men's major championship golf for the year with its signature mix of pine straw, azaleas, and Amen Corner theatrics. The Masters is the first of the four men's majors each season and the only one contested at the same course every year, giving its history an unbroken continuity from Horton Smith's inaugural victory in 1934 to the present champion's title defense.
Administered by the invitation-only Augusta National membership under chairman Fred Ridley, the Masters features a compact field of roughly 90 players drawn from past champions, major winners, top-ranked competitors, and amateur invitees. The tournament's traditions, including the par-3 contest on Wednesday, the Champions Dinner hosted by the reigning winner, and the green jacket ceremony in Butler Cabin, have become as iconic as any shot-making on the course.
Augusta National's Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones design has been refined over decades, with recent lengthening and tree work keeping the course competitive against modern distance. Past champions include Jack Nicklaus with a record six green jackets, Tiger Woods with five, and a recent roster of winners led by Scottie Scheffler's victories in 2022 and 2024 and Rory McIlroy's career-completing win in 2025. The 2027 edition offers a purse in the vicinity of 21 million dollars, with a champion's share north of 4 million.

What this countdown tracks
The clock above counts down to the 91st Masters Tournament, played April 8 to April 11, 2027 at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, the first men's major championship of the 2027 golf season.
About this event
The Masters Tournament is the only men's major contested at the same venue every year and is regarded by many players as the most prestigious tournament in golf. Augusta National was designed by Bobby Jones and Alister MacKenzie and hosted its first Masters in 1934. The tournament is held in early April when the famous azaleas are in bloom, with the green jacket, the Masters Trophy, and the Par-3 Contest among the calendar's most distinctive traditions.
The 91st Masters arrives at a pivotal moment for men's golf. The PGA Tour-LIV Golf truce has reshaped eligibility and field composition, with the Masters being one of the few tournaments to bring the global elite onto a single Sunday leaderboard. The traditional Champions Dinner on Tuesday and Honorary Starters ceremony on Thursday morning open the week's storylines.
What to expect
Per Augusta National scheduling, opening tee times are around 08:00 ET on Thursday, with featured-group coverage on Masters.com from the first ball. The cut after 36 holes reduces the field to the top 50 plus ties; Sunday's final round typically tees off in pairings and the leaders go off at approximately 14:30 ET. Amen Corner (holes 11, 12, 13) and the par-five 13th and 15th remain the championship-defining stretches.

Reading the timer
How to use this sports countdown
Masters Tournament 2027 sits inside the sports calendar as a golf date that readers may revisit as the public details firm up. This page keeps the tracked date, source quality, location context, and release confidence in one place so the countdown is useful without implying more certainty than the source provides.
Right now the key public signal is April 8-11, 2027, with confirmed status and date confirmed precision. That distinction matters. A confirmed datetime is very different from a month-level or date-only signal, and people planning watch parties, travel, ticketing, launch coverage, or newsroom publishing need that nuance instead of a misleadingly precise timer.
We are tracking Masters Tournament 2027 from Masters Tournament plus the official event source. For this page, that means the safest way to read the countdown is as a reference layer: use the timer for awareness, then use the source, precision, location, and event facts together before you commit to travel, viewing plans, promotional scheduling, or time-sensitive announcements.
The most practical reading of this countdown is: Masters Tournament 2027 is being watched for Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, United States, and the current page focus is the main golf milestone rather than every surrounding rumor or speculative date. Sport: Golf. Type: Major championship.
Masters Tournament 2027 is a sports countdown, so the page has to orient around match-stage context, venue expectations, and tournament timing rather than entertainment-release language. Sports searchers usually care about the exact round, final, opener, host city, and likely planning window for kickoff coverage or travel. That is especially useful when several golf, masters, augusta national, major pages exist in the same competition and need to stay distinct.
