A statement from Augusta National said: “Due to expected inclement weather and safety concerns, patron gates will not open as scheduled for Monday’s practice round.
“All patron parking lots will remain closed until further notice. No patrons should approach Augusta National until more details are released.”
A further update is expected at 13:00 BST.
Tuesday’s weather is expected to be sunny with little chance of rain.
