The Masters Golf Tournament is undoubtedly one of the most exciting golf events of the year and has been won by golfing legends such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Byron Nelson among others.
Held at the Augusta National Golf Course, spectators can look forward to seeing their favourite golfers in action, culminating in the grand finale and the crowning of a new winner.
However, when it comes to choosing what to wear, you could find yourself in a bit of a predicament. There are plenty of factors to consider, including location, weather, dress codes, and more, but we're here to guide you with useful tips and outfit suggestions.
Consider the Location and Weather Before Picking Out Your OutfitThe courseDid you know that the Masters Golf Tournament is the only major golf event that is held at the same location every year? The Augusta National Golf Club is located in Augusta, Georgia, and was co-founded by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts. It's known for its manicured fairways, flower beds, and ponds. Sir Nick Faldo famously said, "The course is perfection and it asks for perfection." Time of yearThe main event takes place in April, so it's a good idea to consider the typical weather conditions in Augusta at this time of year. April is a transitional month, so you can expect spring showers, fresh breezes, and plenty of sunshine. Typical forecasts include lows of 12°C and highs of 26°C. WeatherThe somewhat unpredictable weather means you should be prepared for anything. While you don't want to overpack, it would still be better to pack too much than too little. Showerproof jackets will be essential for those unexpected showers, and removing layers will help you cool down as the weather warms up throughout the day. |
Men's Clothing for The Masters
Shirts
When choosing which shirts to pack for the Masters Golf Tournament, you should opt for items that are smart yet casual. Your best bet would be to go for polo shirts in a variety of neutral colours, such as white, black, beige, olive, and light blue. However, hot pink, bottle green, and tartan are also great choices.
If you want to change things up a bit, you could always wear a button-down, but avoid anything too casual like T-shirts or vests.
Our recommendation: While any of our men's golf shirts would be suitable, you can't go wrong with the g.SILLOTH Tailored Collar Performance Shirt.
Trousers
Golfing trousers are essential for anyone attending the Augusta National Masters Tournament. Choose trousers made from lightweight fabric for maximum breathability, and pair them with a belt to help tie your outfit together.
Our recommendation: Our g.ASHURST Technical Water-Repellent Trousers are one of our best-sellers thanks to their high-quality material and classic shape.
Shorts
Since there are bound to be a few sunny days with higher temperatures, you may also want to pack one or two pairs of shorts. Opt for shorts that are comfortable and sit just above your knee, as anything shorter than this may fall outside of the course clothing guidelines.
Our recommendation: Our g.Jackson Lightweight Performance Golf Shorts will keep you cool and comfy on warmer days.
Outerwear
The mornings and evenings are most likely going to be quite chilly, so be sure to have a jacket or pullover you can wear to keep you warm. It's also a good idea to have at least one showerproof outerwear item to keep you dry in the case of unexpected rainfall.
Our recommendation: Not only will you look stylish in the g.ELRICK Golf Performance Jacket, but you'll also stay dry, as it's made from showerproof material.
Women's Clothing for The Masters
Shirts
When it comes to shirts, women have a few more options to choose from than men. While women can wear a variety of polo shirts, they can also wear sleeveless tops without a collar. Almost any type of shirt is fine so long as you remember to avoid wearing anything too tight or revealing.
Our recommendation: Stand out from the crowd and feel comfortable doing so with our g.NANCY Diamante Zip Performance Shirt.
Trousers
When packing for your trip to Augusta, make sure you pop in a few pairs of comfortable trousers to pair with your shirts. Other options for bottoms include shorts (make sure they sit just above the knee) or golf skirts for those warmer days.
Our recommendation: The g.KALEY Lightweight Performance Golf Trousers for cooler days and the g.EMELI Performance Golf Skort for warmer days.
Dresses
Golf dresses are a popular option for female spectators as they allow you to show off your feminine side while still remaining comfortable and stylish. Most modest dresses that sit just above the knee are a suitable option, but you can't go wrong with dresses made by golfing brands.
Our recommendation: Our g.VICTORIA Zip Printed Golf Dress is classy, comfy, and comes with detachable shorts.
Outerwear
Staying warm and cosy is essential for a long day of spectating. Try to keep your outerwear layers lightweight as you may need to peel them off as the day warms up. You may also want to pack in a waterproof jacket to protect you against the spring showers.
There are plenty of outerwear options to choose from, including jackets, pullovers, and gilets among others.
Our recommendation: Our best-selling g.TILLIE Lightweight Stretch Water Repellent Golf Jacket will keep you warm while looking fabulous.
Don't Forget the Accessories
You're bound to get plenty of sun exposure when watching the practice rounds, the grand finale, and everything in between. Protect yourself from harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen and packing a hat and sunglasses.
Our recommendation: Our g.COWAN Performance Golf Cap is a simple yet stylish choice when it comes to suitable headwear.
Appropriate Footwear
As a spectator at the Masters, you may be doing a fair amount of walking so you want to ensure your feet are comfortable. We'd recommend you go for supportive golf shoes, walking shoes, tennis shoes, or even sandals.
Remember that shoes with spikes are strictly prohibited and you should also avoid wearing heels, shoes with slippery soles, and any other impractical footwear.
Knowing How Much to PackThe Masters Tournament attracts thousands of spectators from around the world every year. If you're travelling from out of town, you may be struggling to decide how many items to pack. For those planning to go for the entire week, we'd recommend the following:
This way, you'll have plenty of items to mix and match to create cohesive outfits. The number of items you should bring will also depend on whether or not you have laundry facilities at your accommodation, what you plan to do in the evenings, and how much space you have in your bag. |
