The 2021 Masters Tournament will be the 85th edition of the Masters Tournament and the first of the men's four major golf championships to be held in 2021. It will be held from April 8–11 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
In 2020 the tournament was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and held later in the year behind closed doors. Spectators are set to return in 2021, although in reduced numbers and there will be social distancing measures in place. For the second year in succession, the traditional Par-3 Contest will not be held due to these restrictions.
