The scorecard below will be for the 2023 Tournament. Pictures from Eureka Earth had earlier shown a new, longer tee box on the Par 5 13th Azalea, but the decision to lengthen the hole was not confirmed until the Club released its annual media guide in early February. [1]

Field

Participation in the Masters Tournament is by invitation only,[3] and the tournament has the smallest field of the major championships.[4] There are a number of criteria by which invitations are awarded, including all past winners, recent major champions, leading finishers in the previous year's majors, leading players on the PGA Tour in the previous season, winners of full-point tournaments on the PGA Tour during the previous 12 months, leading players in the Official World Golf Ranking, and some leading amateurs.[5]

Criteria

Throughout much of 2022, there had been discussion in the media about whether there would be changes to any of the major championship's exemption and qualification criteria following the launch of LIV Golf, and the subsequent response of the PGA Tour to suspend participants in the new series. On December 20, 2022, Augusta National announced that existing criteria for the Masters Tournament would remain unaltered and qualifying LIV players would be invited.[6] This list details the qualification criteria for the 2023 Masters Tournament and the players who have qualified under them; any additional criteria under which players qualified are indicated in parentheses.[5]
