The 2023 Masters might be a very wet event this year.
The Augusta weather forecast as of Monday, per Golfweek, calls for possible rain on ALL four days — Thursday has a small shot during the day, then increasing chances on Friday and Saturday before a 50 percent chance on Sunday. And that could also mean a lot of humidity.
Welp.
So, I guess if you’re attending, bring or purchase an umbrella. Hopefully it won’t delay any of the action from Augusta, but it should change up how golfers approach soaked greens.

Still, golf fans were worried and tweeted about it on Monday as Masters week 2023 began:
As we enter Masters week, the weather will potentially be the biggest story come the weekend.
Temperatures 15F below normal Friday and 20-25F below normal Sat and Sun will lead to highs in the upper 40s and low 50s. In addition, rainfall amounts will be 3-5"+ Fri PM-Sun PM. pic.twitter.com/ZRIzNXfGdr

It’s not. Awful weather for baseball and for the Masters. Atrocious weekend of weather. Almost laughable. https://t.co/e9NI9bAay4

There must be some type of dance we can all do simultaneously to ensure the weather doesn’t ruin The Masters.
Please advise, thx

Augusta forecast just changed from 75 degrees and zero chance of rain to a high of 56 and 80% chance of rain for Saturday. WTF?
