Augusta National Golf Club is preparing for an unprecedented fall Masters, and the club is seeking help from area schools to make it happen.
According to a report from the Augusta Chronicle, club officials reached out to the nearby Aiken County (S.C.) school district last week about adding a fall break to the 2020-21 school calendar. A school district official confirmed the request, which came days after the club announced new "intended dates" of Nov. 9-15 for this year's tournament in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Schools in and around Augusta, including Aiken which sits just across the river and a short drive from the gates of Augusta National, have annually accommodated the Masters by adjusting spring break to match the tournament's dates.
