Over the past couple of years, The Masters has unfortunately fallen victim to weather delays or at least the strong effects of weather at Augusta National Golf Club. In 2023, en route to Jon Rahm's victory, consistent rains forced both the second and third rounds of The Masters to be suspended multiple times and for both the conclusion of the third round and the final round to be played on Sunday.
Then, to start the road to Scottie Scheffler's second win at The Masters in three years, the first round was actually delayed three hours due to inclement weather. While that was the only delay in play that we saw throughout the week, the wind absolutely wreaked havoc throughout the tournament and allowed Scheffler to heavily separate himself from the rest of the field over four rounds.
Put simply, The Masters weather has been a factor for the past couple of years. So heading into the 2025 tournament, fans are rightly wondering if that will again be the case, especially after Monday's practice round was suspended before Noon ET and then patrons were asked to not return for the rest of the round (Don't worry, they were offered refunds and first options at next year's Monday tickets).
Augusta was certainly wet on Monday after some heavy rains but what will the weather for the 2025 Masters Tournament look like? Let's take a look at what's forecasted for the week, going day-by-day and round-by-round.
The Masters weather forecast for 2025 tournament
Friday forecast for the second round
After it looked like Friday could get absolutely dicey for the players with rain and high winds, the forecast has largely cleared up for the day. Though the temperature is still expected to drop slightly to the high-60s and the wind will increase to about 12-20 mph sustained throughout the day, the rain should not be all too prevalent. There is still a small chance of thunderstorms popping up but there is not forecasted to be any sustained precipitation for the day, which should amount to a short stoppage of play at worst but nothing major and, hopefully, nothing that will make players have to finish the second round on Saturday.
Saturday forecast for the third round
All that potential for rain will go away for the weekend at Augusta, though, which we love to see. The temperature will drop, though only slightly, to a high of 65 degress but with a mostly sunny forecast and the winds becoming much calmer than on Friday and gusts only reaching 17 mph, it could be a beautiful moving day for these players to try and get to the top of the leaderboard going into the final round.
Sunday forecast for the final round
If you thought Saturday sounded nice, Sunday sounds like it could be a dream. The winds will die down even more to only 6/16 mph sustained/gust forecasts there and the temperature will climb back up to 71 degrees on a day that is forecasted to have plenty of sunshine and no rain even in the area. If you're looking for a picturesque and potentially drama-filled final round, these are The Masters conditions that you're looking for.
Hurricane Helene's effect on The Masters and Augusta National
One weather-related thing to note, though, is that there are changes to Augusta National that resulted from the damage caused by Hurricane Helene in the fall. The damages aren't substantial and there are more holes than this that saw some changes as a result, but the 10th, 12th, 13th and 16th holes are where it is most obvious to seasoned viewers of The Masters as many of the trees have been taken down or, in some cases according to boots on the ground, are being held up by cables as they try to re-root them and not lose the landscape.
