Mon Apr 07 10:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Masters Practice Round Cancelled Due to Inclement Weather
**Augusta, GA** – The highly anticipated Monday practice round for the 2025 Masters Tournament has been cancelled due to severe weather. Augusta National Golf Club announced Sunday evening that all patron gates and parking lots will remain closed until further notice due to a forecast predicting a 99% chance of precipitation, including periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms throughout the day.
While the cancellation impacts only the practice round, and the tournament itself is still scheduled to begin Thursday, April 10th, it represents a significant disappointment for fans who had planned to attend. AccuWeather forecasts all-day rain, with thunderstorms posing the primary concern. Although conditions may improve in the afternoon, it is unlikely to allow sufficient time for spectators to enjoy the event.
Augusta National has the option to issue refunds to ticket holders, citing a similar precedent set in 2022 when a practice round was cancelled and refunds were provided. The forecast for the tournament itself is more favorable, with only a 5% chance of rain predicted for Thursday’s opening round (between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. local time). However, Friday’s second round has a considerably higher 50% chance of rain beginning as early as 9 a.m. Further updates regarding Monday’s gate closures and potential ticket refunds will be released by Augusta National.
