Golf: How Do You Get Invited To Play The Masters?

Masters champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship) for the next five years (except for amateur winners, unless they turn pro within the five-year period), and earn a lifetime invitation to the Masters.

They also receive membership on the PGA Tour for the following five seasons and invitations to The Players Championship for five years.

Amateurs in the field are welcome to stay in the “Crow’s Nest” atop the Augusta National clubhouse during the tournament.

The Crow’s Nest is 1,200 square feet (110 m2) with lodging space for five during the competition.

The Masters Tournament (usually referred to as simply The Masters, or the U.S. Masters outside North America, is one of the four major championships in professional golf.

Scheduled for the first full week of April, the Masters is the first major of the year, and unlike the others, it is always held at the same location, Augusta National Golf Club, a private course in the southeastern United States, in the city of Augusta, Georgia.
