REVEALED: More than one in 10 golf fans would QUIT their job to play once at Augusta… with one in 50 willing to pay more than $10,000 for 18 holes

Golf’s first major of 2024 is nearly upon us, with The Masters bringing the game’s greatest to Augusta National in pursuit of a green jacket.

Thousands of patrons will head down Magnolia Lane to one of the most revered  – and exclusive – courses in the world of golf.

Very few golf fans will ever have the chance to test themselves over 18 holes which have become synonymous with some of the most iconic moments in sports.

Ahead of this year’s tournament, however, casivo.ca conducted a survey which revealed just how desperate supporters are to tee it up at Augusta.

First, nearly 600 US-based golf fans chose from a list of things they would do in order to play a round.

Nearly two thirds (60 per cent) said they would be willing to miss the birthday of a loved one (a child, spouse or parent). More than half, meanwhile, would shave their head.

Almost a third (31 per cent) would get a tattoo – that is visible even when clothed – while more than 10 per cent would be willing to quit their job. Incredibly, around 4 per cent would miss their own wedding day.

Plenty are willing to break the bank to play 18 holes at Augusta, too. The same fans were asked how much they would pay for a round – provided they could, of course.

Around 40 per cent said they were willing to shell out up to $1,000, while nearly one in five fans would pay up to $5,000. Incredibly, one in 50 supporters said they would pay upwards of $10,000.
