2025 Masters Field List for Augusta
The 2025 Masters may still be a handful of months away but every year around this time countless fans of the game begin counting down the days until we all get to take that glorious trip down Magnolia Lane for the year's first major championship.
Last April, Scottie Scheffler won the Masters for the second time in three years securing his second major title. The World No.1 will undoubtedly return to Augusta National next spring amongst the favorites to don the famous Green Jacket in Butler Cabin once again; a win that would put him in rarified company alongside some of the all-time greats including Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Nick Faldo, and Phil Mickelson.
The eagerly-anticipated 89th playing of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National is set to take place April 10th - 13th, 2025, a mere 140 some-odd days from now. Even so, it's never too early to look ahead and begin counting down the days and hours until the first major championship of the new year. There are multiple ways to qualify for the Masters and while we already know that Scottie Scheffler will be back to defend his title, who else has already secured their coveted invite to the springtime major?
