The Masters tees off from Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday, April 11. The tradition unlike any other marks the start of the 2024 major championships, and will feature golfers from both the PGA TOUR and LIV Golf competing for the elusive green jacket. We take a look at which golfers have already qualified for the field heading into the final pre-Masters tournament, the Valero Texas Open.
There are multiple ways to qualify for The Masters. All past winners earn a lifetime exemption to the tournament, and other major tournament winners receive a five-year exemption after their win. US Amateur champions from the current year earn a spot in the field, as do all golfers who won a PGA TOUR event since the previous Masters. The 50 top-ranked golfers from the previous year’s Official World Golf Rankings get the invite, as do top finishers from the previous year’s Masters and other major tournaments.
The top 50 players from the OWGR in the week before the Masters also get an invite, which means that golfers in the Valero Texas Open can grab a late qualification with either a win or a high enough place to push them into the top 50. Golfers including Christiaan Bezuidenhout (No. 58), Alex Noren (No. 66), and Brendon Todd (No. 68) are all teeing off in San Antonio this week in the hopes of earning a Masters exemption.
Here is the current field for the 2024 Masters.
