Carl Jackson, the legendary Augusta National caddie who worked at a record 54 Masters, has said he no longer feels welcomed at the event after not being granted a credential for this week’s major, and does not plan to return.

Jackson appeared alongside his long-time employer, Ben Crenshaw, in Wednesday’s par-three tournament. The Augusta Chronicle reported Jackson was only able to gain entry to the venue with a ticket obtained by Crenshaw. Jackson, an Augusta native who now lives in Arkansas, says he has no plans to return to the Masters.
