The Masters gets underway on Thursday and it should be an especially interesting chapter of golf’s most historic tournament on American soil. This is the first Masters that will have the PGA Tour vs LIV Tour dynamic, as LIV did not exist at this time last year. Now Greg Norman’s LIV Tour is a very real thing — as is its rivalry (and pretty much all-out feud) with its PGA counterpart.
Can LIV golfers play in the Masters 2023?
Yes, LIV golfers are allowed to play in the Masters this season. There is no guarantee of invites beyond in the future, as the Masters committee reviews its qualification policy every year. In 2023, however, LIV golfers can tee it up in Augusta and at every one of the four majors (also the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and British Open). LIV golfers are banned from participating in PGA Tour events, but the PGA does not sanction any of the 4 majors.
Which LIV golfers are playing in the Masters 2023?
There are 18 members of the LIV Tour who are playing in the 2023 Masters.
They are Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, Brooks Koepka, Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson, Patrick Reed, Charl Schwartzel, Louis Oosthuizen, Bryson DeChambeau, Abraham Ancer, Joaquin Niemann, Mito Peirera, Thomas Pieters, Harold Varner III, Jason Kokrak and Kevin Na.
