Delta Air Lines Takes the Masters to 30,000 Feet – African American Golfer’s Digest

Imagine you’re 40,000 feet over Kansas, mid-air with nothing but a ginger ale, a pretzel bag half chewed, and memories of the Masters highlights you’ve probably watched 12 times already. Boring! Thankfully, Delta Airlines has declared war on mid-flight monotony — especially for golf fanatics. From now through the Masters tournament, Delta is serving up a Masters-themed entertainment buffet that’s way more exciting than staring at the seatback in front of you trying to remember if you locked the front door. 

On your seatback screen (or phone if you’re feeling fancy), you’ll now find exclusive content like “A Walk Through Augusta National’s Second Nine”, which basically lets you snoop around the hallowed grounds without the blisters. There are tournament films ranging from jaw-dropping 2019 moments to the 2025 official recap — perfect for reliving every missed birdie and improbable putt. Delta also throws in Hallowed Grounds series episodes and other Masters gems so you’ve got plenty of golf lore to chew through before landing. 

And if that wasn’t enough, Delta is boosting flights into Augusta Regional Airport like never before, adding up to 18 daily routes from hubs like LAX, Newark, and Nashville — basically a full-on airborne pilgrimage to golf’s most sacred week. So if you find yourself on board with extra golf programming, just know this: Delta is mindful that while you might be flying to Albuquerque, your brain is absolutely in Augusta. 

Happy landings… and may all your flights be as entertaining as your Masters bracket dreams.
