On Friday, December 22, Min Woo Lee received an early invite to the 2024 Masters. It is now confirmed that he will be one of the selected names to tee off at the first major of the season. This will be his third appearance at the Augusta National.
Lee had a memorable end to the year as he won the Australian PGA Championship and then went on to finish third at the Australian Open. He had also won the SJM Macao Open a couple of months ago.
The Australian PGA Championship winner shared a photograph of his Masters invite on X (formerly called Twitter) and wrote:
"Christmas came early ❤️ Work hard & Dream Bigger. See you in April, Augusta 🌺💚 @TheMasters"
