Augusta National Forecast: Dry and Fast Conditions for 2026 Masters
The 2026 Masters at Augusta National is underway, with the first round completed under favorable weather conditions. The course is expected to become increasingly challenging due to dry and fast conditions. High temperatures are forecasted to reach the mid-80s°F (around 29°C) over the weekend, with relative humidity dropping to 20-30% each afternoon. This will likely result in firm and bouncy fairways, making the course more difficult for players. Rory McIlroy leads after the first round with a score of 67, despite hitting only five of 14 fairways. The leaderboard is packed with top golfers, including Scottie Scheffler and Justin Rose, who are expected to contend as the tournament progresses.
