A patron looks on during the first round of the 2023 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 06, 2023 in Augusta, Georgia.

One of our favorite pastimes in Masters Week is to check out what’s going on with all the patrons on the grounds at Augusta National.

The hats, the outfits, the joy, the heartbreak. It all plays out visually with massive crowds at the most beautiful golf course in the world.

This year made for some slim pickings when it comes to patrons photos, and that’s largely because of one thing: Weather. Thursday was about the only day that everyone was feeling their best. The rest of the time, we’ve had some combination of wind, rain, cold or trees falling.

But nonetheless, we found some great visuals, and we want to share them with you now. Here’s the 18 best photos from the 2023 Masters patrons at Augusta National.
