It's still unclear what damage was sustained at Augusta National Golf Club, as the course is closed from May to October to reduce wear and tear on the green. 

At least 126 people have been confirmed dead across six states – Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.

In a press conference Monday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp confirmed 25 deaths in the state due to Helene.
