Celeb sightings at the Masters: Here’s who was spotted at Augusta National | Rogers Report

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Hello friends! Welcome to the Saturday edition of the Rogers Report at the Masters, where we have had a handful of celebrity sightings at Augusta National over the last few days.

Not only is the Masters my favorite golf tournament of the year, it’s also the best place for people-watching. For me, what happens outside of the ropes at Augusta National is almost as important as what happens inside of the ropes. Everywhere you turn, you’ll see the most put together and stylish humans on the planet. And because there are no phones or cameras allowed during tournament rounds, professional athletes and celebrities are able to hide in plain sight! Without a way for fans to capture a moment with a big name for social media, a lot of them get left alone.

I’ve seen the most celebrities hanging out under the big oak tree behind the clubhouse. It’s a private area where you need a certain credential to get in, so it’s common to see celebrities and athletes hanging out in there among the Augusta National members and their families. It’s where I spotted Roger Federer on Friday and Joe Jonas on Saturday morning.

We’ve got a long list of celebrities who have been nerding out on the golf here at Augusta this week, so let’s get right to it.

Athletes

Buffalo Bills QB (and golf fanatic) Josh Allen took his bachelor party to a TGL Match and then played a round at SoFi Center before flying to Ohoopee Match Club and teeing it up the next morning. He got to walk with Rory McIlroy inside the ropes during a practice round at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill, and attended the 2023 and 2024 Genesis Invitational to watch Tiger Woods. So it’s absolutely no surprise that he’s at the Masters this weekend. Aside from his height, he fits pretty well into the crowd of patrons at Augusta National.

Caitlin Clark and her whole family were at the Masters on Saturday, and my only regret of the day is that I didn’t run into them. NFL player Sam Darnold was also in attendance, as was Roger Federer, who I spotted hanging out under the oak tree by the clubhouse.

Ken Griffey Jr. is the coolest guy in the press building this week, and he’s taken up a career in sports photography and working the Masters as a credentialed photographer.

Grant Hill and Trevor Lawrence have been on site this week, and Caroline Wozniacki and her husband David Lee also attended with Rolex.

Augusta National members Peyton and Eli Manning have also been on site, as well as Matt Ryan, JJ Watt, Michael Strahan and JR Smith.

WNBA stars A’ja Wilson and Allisha Gray attended on Friday and made sure to get a photo in front of the clubhouse.

The stars are truly everywhere!

Musicians

This week has been a big one for women in their late 20s and early 30s at Augusta National. If you were a fan of 1 Direction or the Jonas Brothers as an awkward middle schooler, I’ve got great news for you. Niall Horan and Joe Jonas have been on site at the Masters this week. Horan was actually on site at Augusta National last week as well for the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.

Neither Horan or Jonas are new to the Masters. Horan caddied for Rory McIlroy in the Par 3 Contest at the Masters in 2015, and when I introduced myself to Jonas today (sorry, I had to. My 14-year-old self would’ve been so disappointed in me if I didn’t), he said this is his fifth time at the Masters. He also said he’s never played Augusta, but that his brother has. He didn’t specify which one, but I’m guessing Nick.

Noah Kahan has also been at the Masters for the last few days and seems to be having a great time despite an unfortunate wardrobe issue.

Dozens of companies host big parties in Augusta during Masters week, and Kahan performed at the NetJets party on Friday night. In the audience for his mini concert? Caitlin Clark. And for all you country-music stans out there, you’ll be happy to know that Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren Atkins were on the grounds at Augusta National earlier this week.

Influencers

And now for the grand finale: the influencer division. If you’re not an avid Bachelor or TikTok watcher, this section might not be for you. However, my favorite run-in at Augusta National this week was with content creator Allison Kuch, so if you can relate to that (and want insight on the conversation that I relayed to my sister the second I returned to the press building) keep on reading.

We’ll start out with Wells Adams, who was the beloved bartender on “Bachelor in Paradise” and who has recently started a podcast called “Vanity Index” with Chad Mumm for Skratch. Adams was out at Augusta earlier this week.

As I walked into the content center at the Masters to film a podcast episode with Marty Smith, I saw one of my favorite TikTok follows out of the corner of my eye. My Instagram and Twitter feeds are filled with golf content, but I’ve made an effort to keep my TikTok feed completely golf-free. So I’ll admit it took me a split second to figure out how I recognized Kuch because I was not expecting it in this setting. Anyway, I went right up to her and introduced myself, and she could not have been kinder. She first went viral for her hilarious videos capturing the life of her and her husband, Isaac Rochell, who was playing in the NFL at the time. I told her that my sister and I love her, and she said “too bad we don’t have our phones! We could’ve sent your sister a photo!” and I immediately thought “wow, my sister is going to freak out when she hears this.” All in all, a perfect interaction.

Next up we have comedian Heather McMahan, who has become friendly with a handful of players and their families over the last few years.

She is so hilarious and such a breath of fresh air in the golf space.

Campbell and Jett Puckett were also in attendance, as well as my biggest style inspirations: Lunden and Olivia Stallings.

And finally, Corporate Natalie was at the Masters. And to the surprise of absolutely no one, her content was hilarious.
