On the 29th (local time), U.S. media reported that "the Augusta National Golf Club, which hosts the Masters Golf Tournament, also suffered significant damage from the massive hurricane 'Hurricane Idalia' that struck the southeastern United States." Augusta National Golf Club is located in Georgia, USA, which was heavily affected by Hurricane Idalia. Yahoo Sports reported, "The extent of the damage to Augusta National Golf Club has not yet been clearly revealed."

Since the entire Augusta area suffered extensive damage, the scale of the damage is estimated to be considerable. On social media (SNS), several photos were posted showing the flooding of Rae's Creek, which runs through Amen Corner at Augusta National Golf Club, along with images of pine trees that were cut or broken.

Fred Ridley, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, indicated that the damage might be significant by stating, "Augusta National Golf Club is currently assessing the impact of the hurricane." He said, "Our Augusta community has suffered deadly and unprecedented damage due to the hurricane," adding, "We are focusing our greatest attention and efforts on the employees, neighbors, and business owners of Augusta. We also extend our condolences to all those affected throughout Georgia and the southeastern United States."

Augusta National Golf Club also suffered major damage from a hurricane in 2014. At that time, numerous pine trees were toppled. The Eisenhower Tree, one of the most famous trees at Augusta National Golf Club, was broken and eventually removed.
