It’s the first Major of the year and the most eagerly anticipated as The Masters at Augusta National kicks off the Major season in April.
The build-up is unparalleled and with the smallest field of the four Majors there’s always huge intrigue in who has made the field for Augusta National and who has missed out.
The 2025 Masters takes place from 10-13 April at Augusta National, but as soon as those first invitations drop around Christmas time then players start to look forward to strolling down Magnolia Lane.
How do you qualify for The Masters?
Past champions get an invite for life, and they’re joined by the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking at the end of the preceding year – who all get those invitations in the festive period.
Any player who has won a full points PGA Tour tournament since the last Masters also gets an invite, along with several amateur championship winners and the top college golfer from last year.
The top 12 from last year’s Masters and top four from the other Majors get in along with a few other criteria (detailed below).
Two amateurs who qualifed have actually turned down the chance to play thanks to their decisions to turn pro – with Wenyi Ding and Jacob Skov Olesen banking on qualifying by right at some point.
For those not otherwise in, the two late ways to qualify are to win an upcoming PGA Tour event before the start of The Masters or get into the top 50 in the OWGR the week before the tournament.
Joaquin Niemann and Nicolai Hojgaard were given special invites by Augusta National.
