Punters are paying more than ($1,250) £1,000 to watch practice rounds at this year’s Masters.
On secondary markets, the average price of a pass to watch the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka plot their way around Augusta National in the build-up to Thursday’s start, has hit a record high of $1,350 (£1,074).
That is up more than a quarter on last year, as the competition’s popularity shows little sign of declining.
The Masters, viewed as a bucket list event for many, limits the numbers of patrons to 40,000 per day, with a reported 2million entering the annual ticket lottery each year.
And with demand far outstripping supply, many apparently view practice days – Monday to Wednesday - as a more realistic opportunity to set foot on the famous turf.
