Who is in the field for The Masters? How have players secured an invite to Augusta National? Here's the confirmed line-up for the opening major of the year.
There are 95 players - as of April 7 - set to tee it up in Georgia this week, exclusively live on Sky Sports, where Scottie Scheffler returns as defending champion and looks to win the event for a third time in four years.
Rory McIlroy arrives with another opportunity to complete the career Grand Slam and Xander Schauffele attempts to win the Green Jacket for the first time, having won two of the last three majors in 2024.

Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods has been ruled out through injury after rupturing his Achilles, while reigning US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and two-time major winner Jon Rahm are among a strong contingent from LIV Golf involved in the event.
How do players qualify for The Masters?
The top 50 in the world at the end of the previous calendar year earn an invite, as do those inside the top 50 during the week before the tournament takes place, while previous winners hold a lifetime exemption and any other major winners from the last five years are also included.
The top 12 and ties from last year's Masters are allowed to return, as are the top four and ties from the other three majors in 2024, with every winner at a full-field PGA Tour event - the ones not played the same week as a major - over the past 12 months securing a spot.
The last three winners of The Players and all qualifiers for last season's Tour Championship earn their invite, plus the champions of five of the world's biggest amateur titles, while The Masters committee can invite a player who has not qualified.
Invites are given to the two finalists of the US Amateur and the winner of The Amateur Championship, along with the winners of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, Latin America Amateur Championship, the US Mid-Amateur and the NCCA Division 1 Men's Individual Champion.
The final place in the field was available to the winner of the Valero Texas Open on Sunday, providing they were not already exempt, although former Open champion Brian Harman - already exempt - won at TPC San Antonio.
