The Masters is open to having Angel Cabrera return to Augusta National Golf Club, if the former champion can obtain a visa after legal issues kept him from participating for the past four years.
Organisers for the Masters and Open Championship on Thursday dismissed the notion that they would create automatic major exemptions for LIV golfers next year. "While we do not at this time anticipate making any changes in 2024, we do always look at them and we will continue to do that," said Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley. "Our qualification criteria are very much dynamic, and we adjust to what we feel is in the bestinterests of the tournament representing the best players in the world, so we always look at that." When a reporter suggested it would be a "shame" if LIV Golf's individual season-long points winner Talor Gooch wasn't able to compete in the Masters, Ridley responded: "They made decisions based on what they thought was in the best interests of their golf careers, and we certainly respect that." Last April, 18 LIV Golf members competed in the Masters -- with Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson finishing in a tie for second place, four strokes behind the winner Jon Rahm. Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith are the lone LIV players currently eligible for the 2024 Masters field. R&A chief executive officer Martin Slumbers said Thursday that it was premature to discuss the qualification criteria for The Open in 2024. "There has been some speculation in the media recently, and I would say that it is completely off the mark," Slumbers said.
LIV Golf League players who were hoping the major championships would change criteria to make it easier for them to qualify for those fields probably aren't going to get their wish when it comes to the Masters.
Organisers of the Masters and Open Championship say they have no plans to create exemptions for LIV players in 2024.

Fred Ridley, chairman of Augusta National, addressed a whole host of topics during his annual chat when he spoke with the media ahead of the 87th playing of The Masters. The appearance of LIV players onsite this week, news that Greg Norman, who is the CEO of the breakaway tour, was snubbed from the invite list, the recent announcement from the United States Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal & Ancient (R&A) about rolling the ball back and new qualification requirements for The Masters were all discussed at length.
