AP – Lucas Glover held down the 50th spot in the final world ranking of the year, making him one of 10 players who will be added to the invitation list to play in the Masters.
The field has eight more players than it did at this time a year ago.
The Masters takes the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking at the end of the calendar year, and it will take the top 50 not already invited from the world ranking published a week before the tournament is held April 10-13.
The addition of the 10 players brings the field to 85 players who are eligible and expected to play.
There were 77 players who were eligible at this time a year ago, a difference that would point to weaker fields in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall.
