2024 Masters: Anticipated Smallest Field in Years
The 2024 Masters tournament field is expected to be one of the smallest in years, with only 77 players expected to compete. This includes 11 players who will qualify through the top 50 world ranking, as well as four players who won PGA Tour events in the fall. One additional player will be determined by the Latin American Amateur Championship in January, and there may be special invitations for international players. Augusta National prefers a field size under 100, and players like Chris Kirk and Matt Kuchar narrowly missed out on qualifying. Kuchar remains focused on playing well rather than being consumed by his world ranking.
