While we are all missing the lush green hills of Augusta right about now, Golfweek surveyed 39 PGA Tour golfers to get their views on certain features of Augusta National and the Masters. We asked, “How many ticket requests do you receive and how difficult is it to handle the allotment?” Here are some of their responses. “A lot. It’s hard to handle. I try to get it done well ahead of time. We just can’t get a lot of them. Family gets first priority and then I let everyone else hash it out.” – Gary Woodland “I’ve said no to people for so long now that I get less requests. Still, it’s not easy to deal with.” – 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott “Now that it’s been about five Masters in a row, it’s become a little less distracting. The first year I had a lot of requests but now everybody knows who’s getting tickets and that’s about it.” – Kevin Kisner “…you get a limited number and that’s what you get and I think that’s great. Otherwise it would be really difficult.” – 2007 Masters champion Zach Johnson “Ask Sean (O’Flaherty, his agent). I separate myself from it.” – Four-time major champion Rory McIlroy “It could not have been any easier, because we just say no.” – Three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson “More than I can count and more than I can get.” – Charles Howell III
