Mon Apr 07 16:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Masters Practice Round Suspended Due to Severe Weather

**Augusta, Georgia –** Inclement weather has forced the suspension of Monday’s practice round at the Masters Tournament. Heavy rain and thunderstorms prompted an evacuation of players and patrons from the Augusta National Golf Club at 4:25 PM BST. More than an inch of rain is expected, with thunderstorms continuing throughout the day.

While Tuesday’s forecast is currently sunny with little chance of rain, a possibility of showers remains for Friday. The course, still recovering from damage sustained during Hurricane Helene last September, has undergone significant changes due to the storm’s impact, including the clearing of wooded areas around several holes. Augusta National previously donated $5 million to local relief efforts following the hurricane. Despite the disruption, the tournament is scheduled to proceed as planned, beginning Thursday.
