About the Masters
The Masters Tournament was first held in March 1934 after being proposed by American golfer Bobby Jones. Since 1940, the tournament has been held every year during the first week of April from Thursday to Sunday at the Augusta National Golf Club, a private club in Augusta, Georgia, featuring 72 holes.
The Masters is the only professional golf tournament played at the same site every year. While most players are professionals, some amateurs are invited to the Masters Tournament, too.
The game is played over four days at the exclusive club where golfers compete based on their past achievements. The winners are presented with monetary prizes totaling up to several million dollars, gold medals, an exclusive green jacket, an engraved silver trophy, a lifelong invitation to future Masters Tournaments, and an invitation to the three other major professional golf tournaments, which include:
- The U.S. Open
- The British Open (Open Championship)
- The Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) Championship
Benefits of Flying Private to the Masters
The Masters is certainly one of the most exclusive and coveted sporting events of the year. You don't want to miss out on any of the action due to a delayed or canceled commercial flight. Flying on a private plane means you can arrive right on time in style and comfort.
Here are the top benefits of taking private flights to the Masters:
- Fly directly to Augusta, Georgia: Flying with a private jet charter means you can land at smaller regional airports closer to your destination to avoid crowds and traffic. For instance, your private jet can land at Daniel Field Airport, Augusta Regional Airport or Aiken Municipal Airport to help you arrive on time and exit right on the tarmac instead of waiting to de-board like on a commercial flight.
- Take off at any hour: With commercial flights, you only get to choose from a handful of times and dates to arrive in Georgia for the Masters. With a private charter jet, you can book Masters flights for whatever time and day suits your schedule for a stress-free journey.
- Experience high-quality service and comfort: When you fly on a private plane, you and your guests can lounge in a spacious, private and comfortable cabin with all the amenities you need, from free WiFi to reclining chairs and much more.
- Avoid security hassle and long lines: Flying commercial means you have to adhere to strict TSA guidelines, such as not bringing full-sized liquid products or alcohol onto the plane. On a private jet, you can avoid long security lines and board straight on the plane with bottles of wine and golf clubs for the exciting week ahead.
- Start your trip from the moment you board: Instead of arriving exhausted and stressed after dealing with a packed airplane and airport, taking a private jet allows you and your guests to pregame the Masters Tournament with your favorite food and cocktails in a luxurious and comfortable cabin. You can watch your favorite movies or play your favorite music thanks to convenient privacy.
