The upcoming 2025 Masters tournament is set to kick off this week at Augusta, featuring top golf players competing head-to-head. Attendees at Augusta are not referred to as ‘fans’ but as patrons, a tradition dating back to 1934 when co-founder Clifford Roberts aimed to enhance the prestigious experience for spectators. Roberts believed that patrons were integral to the essence of the Masters event, emphasizing the importance of continually improving the viewer experience.
Patrons at Augusta must adhere to a strict set of rules, including a ban on mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and cameras during tournament days. Additionally, seating regulations require collapsible chairs without arms. The event enforces a business casual dress code and anticipates around 40,000 patrons to attend throughout the tournament.
A unique Masters-themed gnome merchandise has been available for purchase at the tournament since 2016, with only 1,000 gnomes offered each day, making them highly coveted collectibles. This limited availability has driven significant interest among patrons seeking to acquire these exclusive items.
