There are many ways to qualify for #TheMasters such as being a U.S. Open or British Open champion in the last five years, which is how Bryson DeChambeau qualified, finishing in the top 12 in the previous year’s Masters, or top 4 in the previous year’s U.S. Open or British Open.
🚨Takeaway🚨
LIV golfers need to do extremely well in the majors going forward (top 12 Masters finish, top Open 4 finish) or the number of LIV golfers will decline at #TheMasters since these are mainly the tournaments they earn OWGR points at or they will fall out of the top 50.
