There is definitely a lack of knowledge...where exactly it exists is up for debate.

How to Get Tickets to the Masters Tournament

Read through this and decide for yourself. If you’d like another zillion or so such articles to peruse, they are out there.

Can you get tickets to The Masters? Of course you can. But you need to either be very lucky or be ready pay a bundle to third party sellers.

Darling.............trying to keep this as simple as possible for you.
The statement was "hardest ticket in sports".
It's not hard, yes there might be a price, but it's not hard.
I'm giving you facts, not articles.
Facts.....easy to get online, easy to purchase on Washington Road.
Been there, done that.
Sorry the facts don't work for you.

My data back to you is based on facts...facts well known to _almost_the entire golfing community.

But I do see that facts work for you...as long as they’re your facts.

Many have called Masters Tickets the hardest ticket in sports. Is it the #1 hardest ticket? I don’t know. But as I said before, many knowledgeable people have called it one of the hardest tickets in sports. THAT is an easily verifiable fact. Sorry that fact doesn’t work for you.

You can go online right now and buy. Very Easy.

You can go to Washington Road tomorrow and buy. Very Easy.

Just because "many" say, does not make it fact.
Many say it, does not make it fact.

Simple Facts.
Sorry you hate facts that are oversimplified.

I'm going to vote for Justin Thomas or Jordan Speith (a personal favorite),

And let me just say I am SO GLAD the PGA took the high road and ducked all the political pressure on GA. I 100% agree with the comment that "sports should stay out of politics." If they don't... they better be consistent in their choices.

It's the most difficult to qualify for and the field is limited to ninety players. But of those ninety players about a third of them are amateurs and former champions who have almost no chance of winning.

Then a there are about fifteen or so players who would need a miracle to win.

You realistically only have to beat about fifty players have half of them are top tier players and the other half are long shots.

I can name about twenty-five players and would have a very good chance of one of them being the winner.

Having said that, while it's true that you only have to beat about 25 players or so to win, you do have to beat the 25 best. But that it true of the other three majors, and other tournaments where the top 25 show up and the top 125 all have somewhat of a chance of winning.

I've gone several times. As a PGA member I get free access which is not being offered this year.

Perhaps you can show exactly how you can get into The Masters. I know that practice round tickets are fairly easy to acquire but to get into the actual four rounds, you have to enter a drawing with millions of other people.

Yes, it is a bit of an exaggeration. Masters tickets are only the second hardest to get.

Default Masters trivia

Did you know that co-founder of Augusta National Clifford Roberts said, 'all players would be white, all caddies black" He died at 83 by suicide at Augusta National.
