List of LIV Golfers who’re participating in Masters 2023

The 2023 Masters is just a week away. With the PGA Tour vs LIV Golf controversy around, this year's battle for the green jacket will be highly interesting to watch. Earlier, the organizers of the tournament released 19 qualification criteria. According to the criteria, a total of 17 LIV Golf players qualified for the prestigious golf tournament.

While the Masters has allowed LIV players to participate, the requirements to get into the event have gotten fewer compared to PGA Tour players. Since the Saudi-backed league is not recognized by OWGR, LIV golfers cannot earn a pass to Augusta by winning an LIV tournament, unlike PGA Tour players who can do so with a victory. They also cannot raise their Official World Golf Rankings to enter the Top 50.
