During the seven days leading into the 2022 Masters Tournament (April 3 - April 9), fans and players migrated to Georgia for this year's Masters. The local airports near the tournament fielded the yearly rush, when over 3,400 business aviation jets arrived, increasing business aviation traffic by 221% from the previous seven-day period (March 27 - April 2).

In 2020, the Masters was postponed for six months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was then held in November 2020 rather than early April. Augusta's National chairman also declared that the event would occur without patrons or guests for the first time since the tournament began in 1934. Business aviation traffic reflected the lack of spectators, showing a 16% increase during the seven days leading into the match, compared to the over 200% increase in previous years. [![Masters Tournament Blog ](https://blog.flightaware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-04-11%20at%2010.35.13%20AM.png?width=770&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-04-11%20at%2010.35.13%20AM.png)](https://public.tableau.com/views/MastersTournamentFlightTracking/Dashboard_Withtext?:language=en-US&:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link) Last year in 2021, patrons and guests were allowed back on the course to cheer on their favorite golfers. Although business aviation did not respond with pre-pandemic numbers, over 1,800 business jets still landed at the local airports near the tournament, increasing traffic by 100% from the week before. This year in 2022, business aviation soared past pre-pandemic numbers when over 3,400 business jets arrived at the local airports near Augusta National Golf Club.
