Masters 2026: Here's everybody in the field (so far) at Augusta National

The 2026 Masters is getting closer and closer, with Augusta National is starting to move top of mind for golf fans and players alike. The latest golfer to make his dream come true and claim an invitation to the first men's major of the year is Casey Jarvis. The 22-year-old won the South African Open in his home country on Sunday, and became the latest beneficiary of a change in the qualifying criteria.

What's new in 2026 is the addition of winners from several national opens under one of the club's new qualifying criteria. Last August, the Masters added exemptions for some new event winners, making the announcement in conjunction with the R&A, which also altered its criteria for the 2026 Open Championship. The biggest change was that both majors added automatic exemptions into their events for winners of various national opens.

Winners of the following tournaments now will receive invitations:

Scottish Open
Spanish Open
Japan Open
Hong Kong Open
Australian Open
South African Open

“The Masters Tournament has long recognized the significance of having international representation among its invitees,” said Fred Ridley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, in a release. “We, along with the R&A, have a shared commitment to the global game and are proud to work together. Today’s announcement strengthens our organizations’ collective vision of rewarding top talent around the world who rise to the top of historic national open championships. We hope this formal recognition shines a bright light on these players and the events they will represent at the Masters and the Open, beginning next year.”

With the addition of the new invitation categories, the Masters announced that only winners of PGA Tour events that give out FedEx Cup points that count toward the Tour Championship will get exemptions for their tour victories. This meant that winners from events held during the PGA Tour’s FedEx Fall tournaments no longer earned a spot in the Masters field.

In anticipation for this coming April, we compiled this look at everybody who has already earned a spot in the field for this year’s Masters. To date, the number who have qualified, including past champions, is 103, with 88 likely to play. For those who have not qualified, the number of ways to do so in 2026 is running out. Only winners of a PGA Tour event that gives out full FedEx Cup points between now and April can qualify (Nico Echavarria was the latest at the Cognizant Classic), along with any player in the top 50 of the OWGR a week prior to the Masters who isn't already invited.
