The Masters announced Tuesday that any golfer who has qualified for the tournament based on its previous criteria will be invited to play in the 2023 tournament. At least 15 players currently on the LIV Tour will be part of the field at Augusta National.
are also in the top 50 of the OWGR and were invited. Also, any other player in the top 50 on the week prior to the 2023 event would also earn an invitation.
Whether Augusta National would change its criteria to make it more difficult for LIV golfers to compete in the Masters has been one of the game's pressing questions during the monthslong battle between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour for the world's best players.
When Mickelson, DeChambeau and nine other LIV golfers filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour on Aug. 3, the plaintiffs suggested that the tour was colluding with the four major championships to ban LIV golfers from competing in the sport's most important events. LIV golfers' lawyers accused Ridley of working behind the scenes for the PGA Tour in the lawsuit.
The complaint said Augusta National representatives"threatened to disinvite players from The Masters if they joined LIV Golf." It alleged Ridley"personally instructed" players in this year's tournament not to defect to LIV Golf and that he refused to sit down with Norman to discuss the new circuit's business model.
Mickelson, a three-time Masters champion, didn't compete in this year's tournament after he was heavily criticized for his comments about the PGA Tour's"obnoxious greed" and the Saudi Arabian monarchy's history of human rights violations. At the Masters, Ridley said Mickelson wasn't disinvited to play.
