Golfers react to their 2023 Masters invitation

Christmas came early for some of the golfers this year. The Augusta National Club recently sent invitations for the 2023 Masters to most golfers who have qualified for the tournament.

Adrian Meronk has also received an invitation and shared a snap of his card on his Twitter account. Competing at a major tournament is undoubtedly the biggest event of a golfer's life, and Meronk is excited to be a part of the championship. Taking to his Twitter account, the star golfer wrote:

"Perfect Christmas present. The Masters, here I come. "

Meronk became the first Irish golfer to win on the European Tour after he clinched the 2022 Horizon Irish Open. His victory propelled him into the top 50 official world golf rankings, and he will now compete in the 2023 Masters.

Besides him, several LIV Golf players have also been invited to compete at major tournaments. Despite being suspended from the PGA Tour, it was recently announced that LIV golfers are also eligible to play at the 2023 Masters based on their rankings and last year's championships.

LIV Golf member Kevin Na posted a picture of his card on his Instagram account with a caption that says:

"Already excited to play in 2023 The Masters. Perfect Christmas Gift."

Patrick Reed unveiled his invitation on Instagram, where the LIV Golf player has 150K followers. He wrote:

"Christmas came early this year!! Thank you, The Masters. I can't wait to see you all in April."

The 2023 Masters is making headlines in the newspapers after it was announced that LIV Golf players would also compete in the tournament.
