What Is Masters Fantasy?
Masters Fantasy is the official fantasy golf game hosted by Augusta National Golf Club on Masters.com. It’s free to play and designed specifically around the Masters Tournament field.
Unlike season-long fantasy leagues, this is a tournament-only competition which means that you draft your team before the Masters begins and follow their performance throughout the week at Augusta National.
It’s simple, competitive, and adds another layer of excitement to every tee shot.
Step 1: Create Your Account
To participate, visit the official Masters Fantasy page on Masters.com when registration opens (typically a few weeks before the tournament).
You’ll:
- Create or log in to your Masters account
- Agree to the contest rules
- Set up your fantasy roster before the first tee shot on Thursday
It only takes a few minutes to get started.
Step 2: Build Your Team
Masters Fantasy uses a roster-based format.
You’ll select:
- Four total players from the official Masters field
- Players must be chosen before the tournament begins
The goal is to pick golfers who will:
- Make the cut
- Score well under par
- Finish high on the leaderboard
Because the Masters field is smaller than most PGA Tour events, every pick matters. Balancing favorites, proven Augusta performers, and potential breakout contenders are key.
Step 3: Understand the Scoring
Points are awarded based on player performance throughout the tournament. While exact scoring rules are updated annually, scoring typically includes:
- Points for birdies and eagles
- Bonuses for low rounds
- Position-based scoring for final placement
- Additional points for picking the eventual champion
Since Augusta National rewards precision, course knowledge, and mental toughness, selecting players with strong Masters history can be a smart strategy.
Step 4: Follow the Action
One of the best parts of Masters Fantasy is how seamlessly it connects with the Masters digital experience.
During tournament week, you can:
- Track your team in real time
- Watch featured groups and Amen Corner coverage
- Monitor leaderboard movement
- Compete against friends or global leaderboards
Every birdie suddenly matters a little more when it’s your player making the charge.
Why Play During Your Augusta Visit?
If you’re staying in Augusta for Masters Week, playing Fantasy makes the experience even more immersive.
Imagine:
- Watching morning tee times unfold while checking your leaderboard
- Celebrating a Sunday back-nine charge with your group
- Comparing picks over dinner after a day at Augusta National
Masters Fantasy turns casual viewing into a full-week competition.
When Does Registration Open?
Registration for Masters Fantasy typically opens several weeks before the tournament. Keep an eye on Masters.com in early spring 2026 for official dates, rules, and scoring updates.
The earlier you register, the more time you’ll have to analyze the field and fine-tune your picks.
