Jason Day qualifies for the 2023 Masters despite losing to Scottie Scheffler at the WGC Dell Match Play 

Jason Day initially did not receive the invitation to the Masters, but luckily this coming Monday, March 27, he will have another reason to celebrate.

The Australian golfer will receive an invitation as he enters the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings. He qualifies for the tournament by the 19th eligibility criteria released by the officials.

Day gave stiff competition to Scottie Scheffler at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play but lost in the quarterfinals. However, his performance helped him qualify for the Masters.

Based on projections from the Official World Golf Rankings, he will make it to Augusta this year. Besides Day, the other players who are now officially eligible for the Masters are Min Woo Lee, Keith Mitchell, and Harris English.

Jason Day was ranked 112th towards the end of 2022 but has made impressive progress in the last three months to reach No. 37 in the world rankings. The Masters field is almost full, giving next week's Valero Texas Open winner the only path to join the players at Augusta.
