The Masters is the most prestigious golf tournament in the world.The only way to get tickets to the annual April event held in Augusta, Georgia, is to be on a closed patron list or win a ticket lottery.
If you do get in, you’ll need to review the written and unwritten rules, such as no cell phones, no backwards hats, and no lying on the grounds.
Two journalists were fired from their broadcasting jobs at the Masters for not following these rules — one for referring to the spectators as a “mob scene” and one for saying the greens were smoothed with “bikini wax.”
To find out what it’s like to work at such an elite sporting event, we talked with former employee Jen (not her real name), who drove the players around in golf carts.
