ORLANDO, Fla. — The Masters already has the smallest field of the majors. The 2024 edition could be one of the smallest in years depending on the first three months of the PGA Tour season.
With no significant tournaments the rest of the year, it looks as though 11 players who finish in the top 50 will be added to the field, which would bring the field to 77 players among those expected to compete.
That includes three players who will be making their Masters debut without ever having won on the PGA Tour or European tour: Adam Schenk, Eric Cole and Denny McCarthy.
Schenk qualified by reaching the Tour Championship for the first time. The 11 expected to get in through top 50 in the world ranking are Ryan Fox, Min Woo Lee, McCarthy, Will Zalatoris, Justin Rose, Harris English, Cole, J.T.
