The Masters field 2024 tracker: Updated full list of qualified golfers & how to qualify for Augusta National image

Included in this Masters tracker:


We are less than a month away from the most prestigious golf tournament of the year as we head to Augusta National for the 2024 Masters.

Official invitations for the men's first major championship of the year were sent out during the week before Christmas, quite the holiday treat, but players can still qualify by winning events.

Jon Rahm may have moved to LIV Golf but automatically qualifies for the rest of his career due to being a Masters champion after he won last year's tournament in a tremendous final-day showdown with Brooks Koepka.

The Sporting News takes a look at who has been invited to this year's competition along with how they qualified for the first major of the golf calendar.

Is Tiger Woods playing in the Masters this year?

Tiger Woods will be playing at this year's Masters despite a long-term battle with injuries.

The 48-year-old was included in the official list of players taking part at Augusta this year on the Masters website.

Woods is still recovering from his ankle surgery last year, and there are concerns over how his fitness may impact his performance. That being said, he has never missed the cut at the Masters as a pro.
