Securing a tee time at Augusta National is the dream of most every golfer around the world. For 88 fortunate folks (with one more potentially on the way from the Valero Texas Open), they’ve done just that by earning a place in the field at the 2024 Masters.
For 19 players, this will be their Augusta debut, and with it comes the knowledge that not since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979 has a rookie won a green jacket. For a few past champions—Fred Couples (?) and Jose Maria Olazabal—this could be a last call. The two past champions have not announced anything official, but the question remains how long they might continue to play.
Of course, who will be paired with who is the question on everyone’s mind. If tradition holds, defending Masters champion Jon Rahm (now playing in the LIV Golf League) will be paired with last year’s U.S. Amateur champion Nick Dunlap (now a professional but still in the field thanks to his historic win as an amateur in the PGA Tour’s American Express). But how will Masters officials handle the other 12 LIV golfers who are competing this week? And what about Tiger Woods, who is expected to play for the 26th time at the Masters?
Below is the complete player field. Tee times have yet to be set, but check back here and we’ll have them posted as soon as they go live.
