The spring golf season is heating up, and April 2026 promises a spectacular calendar of events headlined by the first major championship of the year. From Augusta National to the LPGA Tour, here are the biggest events to mark on your calendar.
The Masters (April 9-12)
The first major of the year needs no introduction. Augusta National will host the world’s best golfers for four days of tradition, drama, and iconic moments. After Cameron Young’s Players Championship victory and Matt Fitzpatrick’s Valspar win, the form guide heading into the Masters is more intriguing than ever. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Xander Schauffele will all be in the conversation, but the 2026 Masters feels wide open.
Valero Texas Open (April 2-5)
The traditional Masters warm-up event at TPC San Antonio draws a strong field of players making final preparations for Augusta. For players on the bubble of Masters invitations, a strong performance here can secure a last-minute trip to Georgia.
RBC Heritage (April 16-19)
The week after the Masters, Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island hosts the RBC Heritage. This event has grown significantly in stature in recent years, attracting many of the top players who compete at Augusta the week before. The intimate coastal setting and strategic Pete Dye design make it one of the most enjoyable events on the PGA Tour calendar for both players and fans.
