2026 Masters Tournament players react to Range Tracker feature
With the 2026 Masters Tournament Range Tracker, players and fans can track shots on the practice area at Augusta National.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Swaths of data at a golfer’s fingertips isn’t a new thing in 2026. For the Masters Tournament , however, there’s an opportunity to dive into each and every swing on the driving range of the Tournament Practice Area.
The feature, known as the Practice Range Tracker, debuted in 2025 and is available on the Masters official website and tracks players on the range throughout the week. It gives onlookers and players a chance to dive into how many shots are being taken on the range, plus additional information like height and carry distance. Each shot from a player’s session is recorded and timestamped.
If a player is currently on the range, those numbers are updated in real time. Tracking shots during a tournament has been in play for years, but this gives a new angle to keeping track of your favorite players throughout the week. From the players’ perspectives, the reception has mixed results.
Tommy Fleetwood sees it as something beneficial to dive into after the fact, such as how a number of shots correlates to success in the tournament. “I know last year, it was Bryson (DeChambeau) or Jose (Maria Olazabal) that hit the most balls, right? I actually love watching a good shot tracker and watching who hits the most,” he said during his pre-tournament interview Tuesday.
