When is the Masters 2027?

The 2027 Masters is scheduled from Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 April 2027 at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA. It's the first of the four men's major championships of the year and is always played at Augusta.

The Masters at Augusta National is the first men's major of the year and the biggest golf betting week for UK punters. Unlike the other majors, it's played on the same course every year, so course history counts. Each-way betting with extra places is standard, which makes golf tipsters' records easy to inflate with a few big-priced placings.

How to judge The Masters tips before you pay

  • Separate wins from each-way places

    Golf tipsters often advertise profit built on each-way places at long odds. Ask for their record split into outright wins and places, and how many terms or places their results assume.

  • Course history is a real edge

    Because Augusta never changes, past form there matters more than at other majors. A good tipster explains how a player's game suits the course.

  • Ask for a full, time-stamped record — not highlights

    Every tipster shares their big wins. What matters is every bet they advised, with the time it was sent, the stake and the odds available then. If they can only show winners, assume the losers were hidden.

  • Check the odds were actually available

    Prices can move quickly after a tip is posted. Judge a record at the odds you could realistically get, and be wary of results quoted at the best price anywhere.

  • One tournament is a tiny sample

    Even a busy event is only a small number of bets. A tipster can have a brilliant or awful tournament by luck alone, so judge them on years of results, not one event.

  • Set a budget and level stakes before it starts

    Decide a total budget for the event, use level stakes (for example 1–2% of your bank per point) and stick to it. Chasing losses late in a tournament is how most people give back their winnings. 18+, and only bet what you can afford to lose.

The Masters — frequently asked questions

The 2027 Masters is scheduled from Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 April 2027 at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA. It's the first of the four men's major championships of the year and is always played at Augusta.

Each-way betting is very popular on the Masters because bookmakers often pay extra places, sometimes eight or more. Remember each-way is two bets, so it doubles your stake. Compare place terms between bookmakers before betting.

Only if they show a full, time-stamped record over several seasons, split between outright wins and each-way places, at prices you could get. Golf is very high variance. Check independent reviews and Trust Scores on TipsterCheck first.

The Masters is the only major played on the same course every year. Augusta rewards specific skills, such as long iron play, short-game touch and fast-green putting, so players with good records there often contend again.

Popular Masters bets include outright winner each-way, top-10 and top-20 finishes, first-round leader, top nationality and head-to-head matchups. Matchup and top-20 markets have lower odds but are usually less volatile than outright bets.
