Fly Private to the PGA Masters

Leave your driver at home and fly private to Augusta for the PGA Masters Golf Tournament, the first of four major championships on the PGA Tour, and one of the busiest private jet events on the annual sports calendar.

You can always take your time and lay it up with a commercial flight into Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International (ATL), the world’s busiest airport, then continue your journey along the fairway to the Georgia-South Carolina border.

We tend to think your best approach to the tournament is to tee it high and let it fly by chartering a private jet to Augusta Regional Airport (AGS), or a comfortable turbo-prop to Daniel Field (DNL). Both airports are focused on private aviation and features private FBO terminals, offering the most comfortable, secure, and luxurious way to arrive for the Masters.

The right charter broker will be able to offer a tailor-made charter flight, providing instant access to thousands of private planes from light jets for individuals, mid & super midsize jets for your family or golf buddies, and even VIP airliners for the ultimate corporate event.

Turboprops make an excellent choice for passengers flying within the southeast, as they carry much lower hourly rates, and can utilize both airports, with Daniel Field placing you only a chip shot away from Augusta National.

It’s important to note: Augusta experiences a heavy spike in private jet traffic as we get closer to the first week of April. If you’re planning on going with a private flight to the Masters, it’s important that you make your arrangements well in advance.

Airport slots will be required for all flights into Augusta — leading up to the tournament, these slots begin filling up faster than the cups on Augusta National’s practice greens, leaving you with limited, and sometimes unattractive choices for your arrival and departure (learn more about how airport slots work).
