THE Masters returns to Augusta National on Thursday as the world’s best golfers compete for the iconic Green Jacket.
Last year, Jon Rahm was victorious after edging past Brooks Koepka on the final day.
In 2024, the Spaniard will be part of a strong LIV Golf contingent in the field, among the likes of Cameron Smith and 2023 runners-up Koepka and Phil Mickelson.
Rory McIlroy will compete at Augusta yet again as he aims to finally complete a Grand Slam in golf.
Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods is in line to play in this year’s tournament despite only appearing at one PGA Tour event in 2024.
The top 50 players from the previous calendar year will be invited to compete at the Masters, as well as the top 50 during the week before the tournament begins.
Previous Green Jacket winners are guaranteed an invite and any other major winners from the last five years.
The top 12 and ties from last year’s Masters are invited to return, as are the top four and ties from the other three majors in 2022.
The last three winners of the Players Championship and all the qualifiers for last season’s Tour Championship earn a spot at Augusta, as do the champions of five of the world’s biggest amateur titles.
And the Masters committee have the power to invite a player that has not qualified.
