Joaquin Niemann, Ryo Hisatsune, and Thorbjorn Olesen have been granted special invitations to compete in the upcoming Masters tournament at Augusta National. Niemann, a 25-year-old golfer from Chile, secured his invitation due to his impressive performance at the Australian Open and his willingness to participate in tournaments outside the LIV Golf League to earn ranking points.
Hisatsune, a 21-year-old Japanese player, became the first Japanese player to be named European Tour rookie of the year. Olesen, hailing from Denmark, is an eight-time winner on the European tour and has previously played in the Ryder Cup.
