Much to the dismay of many vying for the final spot in the 2025 Masters field at the Valero Texas Open, Brian Harman ultimately took the title at the PGA Tour's final stop ahead of the year's first major, surviving a tough scoring Sunday at TPC San Antonio to earn a three-shot win over Ryan Gerard.
Harman, of course, didn't need the victory to secure his spot at Augusta National, as he earned a five-year exemption with his win at The Open Championship in 2023. Gerard, meanwhile, did need the win, as did Andrew Novak, who tied for third.
But that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes, and as such, the final 2025 Masters field is now set at 95 players, with 90 professionals and five amateurs set to compete for the coveted green jacket.
The field was to be 96, but 2000 champion Vijay Singh withdrew due to an undisclosed injury.
Defending champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlines a list of 18 past winners in the field and is looking to become just the second player to win three Masters titles in four years. Jack Nicklaus is currently the only member of that elite club, winning three of his record six green jackets in 1963, 1965, and 1966.
Leading the non-winners list of players is Rory McIlroy, who is set for his 11th attempt to complete the career Grand Slam. In his previous 10 tries, the world's second-ranked player has finished in the top 10 on six occasions, his best result being a solo second behind Scheffler in 2022.
The complete 2025 Masters field
While many are hoping for a Sunday showdown between the top two players on the planet, there are obviously plenty of strong contenders set to have a say in the final result.
