The Masters Tournament Delayed Due To Severe Weather Forecast

2024 Masters tournament opening delayed due to expected severe weather.

The Masters tournament, one of the most prestigious events in golf, has announced a delay in opening its gates for the 2024 tournament scheduled to begin on Thursday. This decision comes in light of the forecasted weather conditions that are expected to impact the Augusta National Golf Course in Augusta, Georgia.

Tournament organizers have stated that the next update regarding the schedule for Thursday will be provided no later than 3 a.m. ET, ensuring that players, spectators, and staff are kept informed about any changes to the event's timing.

The 2024 Masters tournament is set to tee off on Thursday and will continue through Sunday, showcasing top golfers competing for the coveted title at Augusta National.

Weather reports indicate the presence of powerful storms moving through parts of the southern United States on Wednesday night. These storms are likely to persist as Thursday dawns, with the expectation that they will gradually shift eastward before dissipating over the Atlantic Ocean later in the day.

The decision to delay the opening of the tournament demonstrates the organizers' commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all participants and attendees. By monitoring the weather conditions closely and providing timely updates, the Masters aims to uphold the integrity and smooth operation of this prestigious golf event.
