It’s the first men’s major of the year. It’s the best major of the year, according to many. It’s a somewhat exclusive field to get into, as many years there are about 90 golfers – there were 89 in 2024 – on the tee sheet at Augusta National Golf Club. That compares to most tournaments with 132 golfers with some having as many 156, like the U.S. Open.
As the 2024 calendar year moves into December, it’s time to take a look at those golfers who have already earned a trip down Magnolia Lane, per the PGA Tour’s website, which is gathering names for those who have qualified for all four of the 2025 majors plus other significant events.
The list includes four amateurs who must maintain that amateur status if they would like to play in April. Those four are: Jose Luis Ballester, Evan Beck, Noah Kent and Hiroshi Tai.
