Nope, the Bermuda gets over seeded in the late spring...it will not germinate during cool nights....need warm weather. The tournament is played in the spring with bluegrass, rye, and rescue (cool grass).
Take it up with progolfnow:

The biggest problem, believe it or not, will be the turf. Augusta National is overseeded for play each the spring. The overseeding is actually done in the fall, and it has to be completed while the night temperatures are still warm enough so that the tender shoots of new grass are not killed by chilly temperatures. Once established, the grass will survive winter in Augusta and be ready for golfers in the spring.

The overseeding process takes between three and four weeks, minimum. The Bermuda is not watered, and then it’s scalped down to a tiny height. After that, the annual grass overseed, often rye, is applied and the golf course is watered. Then everybody waits for the grass to grow in.
