Flying into Augusta for the 2025 Masters Tournament just got a whole lot easier thanks to Delta Airlines. As one of the Masters’ official partners, Delta is increasing its seating capacity to Augusta Regional Airport by 15 percent for tournament week, allowing for 1,900 daily seats flying into the event. This expansion comes as great news for golf fans looking to attend the prestigious tournament in Augusta, Georgia, making travel arrangements more convenient and accessible than ever before.
For many Masters regulars, traveling to Augusta has been a challenge due to its limited options. Most people flying in from around the United States usually have to go through Atlanta, Georgia, and then embark on a 2.5-hour drive to make it to Augusta. While other nearby cities like Columbia, S.C. offer more convenient options, nothing beats the simplicity of landing at Augusta’s tiny regional airport just minutes away from the golf course. This new partnership with Delta will make it easier for patrons to connect to this iconic event by providing direct flights from various cities across the country.
In celebration of Delta’s Centennial year, Joe Esposito, Delta’s SVP for network programming, expressed the airline’s pride in welcoming Masters patrons to their home state of Georgia for the renowned tournament. The expanded service includes new direct flights from Minneapolis St. Paul, Detroit, and Boston, as well as increased frequency from Atlanta, New York-LaGuardia, and additional flights from various cities like Westchester, Washington D.C.-Reagan, Austin, and New York-Kennedy. With this updated schedule, Delta is aiming to put 215 destinations within one layover of a flight direct to Augusta, providing more convenience and flexibility for travelers.
This isn’t the first time Delta has increased its service to Augusta for tournament week, showing a commitment to serving the growing number of golf fans who flock to Augusta National Golf Club each April. While the additional seating capacity may only benefit around 20,000 visitors, it significantly enhances the travel options for those looking to attend the Masters Tournament. The 2025 Masters will take place from April 9-13, 2025, providing an exciting opportunity for golf enthusiasts to witness some of the world’s best golfers compete on one of the most iconic courses in the sport.
Overall, Delta’s partnership with the Masters Tournament and its expanded service to Augusta Regional Airport are set to improve the overall experience for patrons traveling to the event. By offering more direct flights and increasing seating capacity, Delta is making it easier than ever for golf fans to access this prestigious tournament. As excitement builds for the 2025 Masters, the announcement of these new travel options comes as a welcome development for those hoping to see their favorite players compete at Augusta National Golf Club. With more accessibility and convenience for travelers, attending the Masters has never been more achievable.
