At Augusta National, tradition reigns supreme—and that means leaving your phone behind.
The Masters enforces a strict no-cellphone policy, creating a rare escape from the digital world for attendees. This rule encourages face-to-face interactions and full immersion in the event.
Instead of selfies and live tweets, patrons experience the tournament through their own eyes, engaging more deeply with the game and fellow fans.
As Swedish golfer Ludvig Åberg notes, the absence of mobile devices leads to more eye contact and attentiveness from fans, which he finds particularly rewarding.
For those needing to make a call, Augusta National provides banks of public telephones—a nostalgic nod to simpler times.
These phones allow patrons to connect with the outside world, often surprising recipients with a call from “Augusta National Golf Club.”
In an era dominated by screens, The Masters offers a refreshing return to presence and tradition. It’s not just about watching golf; it’s about experiencing it fully, without digital distractions.
