The amateurs are all competing for the Silver Cup, which is awarded to the low amateur who makes the cut. Neal Shipley won the award last year.

That compares to most tournaments with 132 golfers with some having as many 156, like the U.S. Open. With the countdown officially on, there are now 94 golfers on the invite list who can look forward to that drive down Magnolia Lane in 2025, according to the Masters official website. The list for the Masters includes five amateurs who must maintain that amateur status if they would like to play in April: Josele Ballester, Evan Beck, Justin Hastings, Noah Kent and Hiroshi Tai.
