Beyond the standard Masters ticket lottery, many tickets come from lifetime Masters Series Badges held by patrons grandfathered into a system closed to new applicants since 2000. Augusta National revokes these badges if holders sell their passes, and they don't transfer to family members upon death. Sources indicate the club monitors local obituaries closely, canceling tickets when a badge holder passes away.
