The 88th Masters Tournament is underway with the Monday practice rounds taking place at Augusta National.

A day after his arrival, Tiger Woods was back on the course for an early tee time, this time with Will Zalatoris.

Patrons lined up early, before the gates were even opened, and walked in to Masters Tournament employees handing out free solar eclipse glasses. Masters-themed solar eclipse glasses, that is.

There will be more practice rounds on Tuesday, then it’s the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday, before the first round tees off Thursday morning.

‘Inclement weather conditions and safety concerns’ suspends Masters practice round Tuesday at Augusta National

The forecast doesn’t look good for Tuesday in Augusta.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — After beautiful weather over the weekend and into Monday, Tuesday’s practice rounds were cut short ahead of the the 2022 Masters Tournament.

“Due to inclement weather conditions and safety concerns, Augusta National Golf Club was forced to suspend play, and subsequently, evacuate the grounds at 10:55 a.m. ET for Tuesday (April 5) practice round,” according to a release from Augusta National. “The current forecast will not permit the reopening of the grounds.”

Those who had tickets for Tuesday’s practice round will be guaranteed the opportunity to purchase the same tickets next year, with more information to come in May.

“The safety of everyone at Augusta National was the determining factor in the decision to suspend Tuesday’s practice round and evacuate the grounds,” said Fred Ridley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament. “We share in the disappointment of our patrons though, we look forward to welcoming them back next year.”

The Weather Channel forecasts scattered storms in the early afternoon that will develop into strong thunderstorms in the evening, with “damaging winds, large hail and possibly a tornado.”

Scattered thunderstorms are also expected on Wednesday, when the first Masters Par 3 Contest since 2019 is scheduled to begin at noon. Thursday’s forecast for the opening round calls for party cloudy conditions with rain in the early morning.
