The professional golf schedule has gotten off to a slow start this year, but fear not golf fans, because major championship season is right around the Amen Corner. That’s right, the 2024 Masters is just 50 days away.

Players still have some time to earn their way into the first men’s major of the season, whether it be through tournament wins or the Official World Golf Ranking, but the field of world-class players bound for Augusta National Golf Club is starting to take shape.

Using the 2024 qualifications for invitations, here’s the current field list of players who will be making the trip down Magnolia Lane in just under two months. Check out the field (so far) below.
